/ˌnɒnˈsek.wɪ.təʳ/ (noun)

Definition

a statement or conclusion which is not logically supported by evidence or is completely incongruous or unrelated, unwarranted or baseless conclusion, in Latin it means: it does not follow, illogical argument, irrelevant or unsupported argument or conclusion

Example

Why do people interrupt conversations with something irrelevant as a non sequitur?

Problem: People interrupt conversations with something irrelevant, and you do not want that to happen! You would like to be allowed to keep talking about food, to A (a person or group), but now person B is speaking nonsense.

b) It depends what A does? If A and B start to get in a big conversation and ignore you, then there may be nothing to do but be sad, but I think you will not like that. Nonverbal cues are important in a conversation. Do you keep eye contact with A? If A is more than one person (a group) it gives more people a chance to talk with each other, so if some people like B better, that is OK.
