used
for lack of a better word in a conversation. can express 1)indifference, 2)actual interest, or 3)
kill time before having to actually respond with a complete sentence (each indicated by the
user's tone and manner); excellent word choice option when you do not want the person you are talking to to be able to say something else.
Example:
1)"I like to study." - "Interesting..."
2)"I got
10 kinds of nasty at the party last night!" - "Interesting...were there a lot of
hot guys there?"
3)"I have 3 cars, 2 bikes, and I am a
personal trainer." - "Interesting (check out person)...so what was your name again?"

One of the best possible responses in various levels of conversation. There are many uses.
1. If you aren't paying attention to an elongated conversation and are
struck out of your trance-like state of boredom to realize it's your turn to speak.
2. If you are
put on the spot to give your opinion of something you don't particularly like or dislike, but you don't want to sound rude.
3. If you are trying to
squirm your way out of awkward small-talk with someone you don't want to listen to.
Example:
1. Stacy: "...and then after he gave me flowers, he tried to KISS me! Eww!"
Rebecca: "...Huh? Oh. Interesting."
2. Joe: "So, how do you like the
veggie burgers I made?"
Steve: "Well, they're interesting..."
3. Acquaintance: "
Yeah, so how about them Yankees? I got their logo tattooed on my back last week. It's not healing properly though, the edges have
pus."
You: "Interesting..."

In normal conversations, used to express doubt,
curiosity, or
critique. If someone says "this is interesting", it could mean "I
doubt it", "I don't understand why it doesn't work", "Is this really true?", "How strange is that?"
