ellipsis

chat turning serious and then...

guy:  "why are you so...?"

me:  "because...."

guy:  "what?"

me:  "what does your ellipsis stand for?"

guy:  "what's Ellipsis?  sorry."

ooops... hahaha

me:  "the three dots -> ..."

...

guy:  "why can't you just say "dots"?"

hmmm...  good point...  but i've called them ellipsis from as far back as high school...  next time maybe...  this time though the term diverted the conversation so i guess it was just fine...
