Call it "exchanging pleasantries" instead. That sounds much better.

And there are benefits to doing this contratry to what some people want to believe.

I hate hearing the same thing over and over again. Not things like, "hey, how are you," and, "have a great day." But things like, "I'm going to plant some pumpkins in my garden this weekend." Yes, you've told me 3 f'n times today, and you've told me many times this week

If I was comfortable with them I'd say something like "Damn you're still doing that? Who plants that many pumpkins? Hahaha" in a joking way.

Would you call the fact that I'm right now telling you I have been farting non stop for the past 2 hours cause of the radish and beans I ate today 'exchanging pleasantries'?
I didn't think so

Love is a lie guys, there's no such thing, might as well be a soulless hedonist.
Why yes, I do get a kick out of being a smug smartass.

Can I talk about beer's law and how it applies to pee? Is that small talk?

*goes get some water in the kitchen*
Veggeta X: Hey, person from accounting. Hows it going?
Accountant: Oh it's going. How about yourself?
Me: Great now that it's Friday!
Accountant: I hear that!

*We both laugh*
*I walk to my desk and sip on my water*

Man I love these moments.

For me it's more like
*walks to the teacher's lounge to see what hot teachers are there and gets stopped at least 4 times*
'I just wanted to say thank you for doing x/y/z and without you we'd all be lost and not able to teach'
