gab session

Extended casual conversation

A gab session is an extended period of casual conversation, typically among friends or colleagues.

The term emphasizes talk for its own sake rather than any practical purpose: The meeting devolved into a gab session.

It often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting the conversation was enjoyable but unproductive.
