pub talk
Tavern conversation topics
Pub talk is casual, informal conversation of the kind exchanged over drinks at a bar—often rambling, opinionated, and not meant to be taken too seriously.
It suggests talk that's entertaining but perhaps unreliable: That's just pub talk, not actual policy.
The phrase can dismiss someone's statements as idle chatter rather than considered thought.
