54 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): -1 deer chat
Explanation:
"Geyik Muhabbeti" means:
A kind of chat between a number of close friends, which is full of humor and which is entertaining. However, it generally does not have an "intellectual" dimension,
that is, it is generally composed of meaningless
and "volatile" conversations. Actually, it is the thing what we all do when we are together with our close friends.
----------------------------------------------------------
This is a relatively new idiom, which emerged in the last decade. Actually, it is slang. If we directly translate it into English, it would sound "deer chat". I don't know where
it originates from, however, an informal resource says that, in very cold weather, deers altogether come closer and make a ring and start to move their mouths. This may be the analogy.
Example sentence(s):- Meet and chat with singles at Date.com, our Deer chat rooms contain thousands .... :p I AM NOT GOOD WITH CONVERSATION. I TEND TO NOT KNOW WHAT TO more ...

4 hrs confidence: chit-chat
Explanation:
Geyik muhabbeti, bir mizahçı bunu dilimize sokmuştu diye hatırlıyorum, "boş konuşma" demek. TDK da bunu böyle tanımlamış. Boş konuşma için de Türkçe de tonla ifade var. Idle talk, chit-chat, small talk, vs.
Ancak ben chit-chat ifadesini beğendim zira anlamı şöyle geçiyor:
"inconsequential conversation", verb halinde ise "talk about trivial matters"; yani "geyik muhabbeti yapmak" için de direkt alabiliriz.
