Mandatory Social Time:

MST. Its quite popular at parties. Mandatory Social Time is the period immediately following the real reason that you went to the party. Its where you make the obligatory small talk about the weather, puppies or drop a taboo word like enispay.

Generally, these parties are offering some sort of food. As we well know "food parties" draw out that one person who shows up at every wedding dinner, banquet, and company social gathering with only one thing on their mind: the food is free. He/she is the type of person who will, most likely, encounter Mandatory Social Time.

After he/she has partaken of his/her dinner, "complimentary beverages," or hot raspberry fudge covered strawberries he/she, in order to cover his/her true motives, will enter MST and suffer the company of those he/she is intruding on. They are usually people he/she knows to some extent, but has never taken the time to let into the "circle of trust".

MST can be as short as 5/10 minutes or many hours long. This usually depends on how "good" the individual wishes to make themselves look and how many feelings they want to spare. It may also depend on the level of obvious gluttony exuded by the party goer.

I say all this to close with "mmm . . . banana splits."
