I understand your discomfort; however, \"to conversate\" is widely used in the black community and is not going away. It means \"to chit chat.\" There is a subtle difference between holding a conversation and conversating. Conversating is more like chatting someone up. To hold a conversation presupposes an actual subject and somewhat thoughtful dialogue on that subject. Conversating is a much lighter thing.
Sometimes new usages feel odd when they first pop up -- we eventually get used to and incorporate them.
Get used to \"conversate.\" It ain\'t goin\' nowhere. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
