Default Components of conversations - fillers, small talk, subjects?

The other day I was thinking about the manner how people talk to one another. What are the basics of conversation? I created these lists from what I heard and I was wondering if anyone could add to them. I'm curious to see the differences in how people converse with one another.

Sentence Fillers

Seriously?
Really?
Oh wow
Oh man
No way
Oh my gosh
Are you serious?
Cool
Nice
*laugh*
Um hm
Dang
Wow that's crazy
That's interesting
That's amazing
That's unbelievable
Are you joking?
Oh, that's good
I know!
Yeah, exactly!

Subjects for small talk

Weather
Your weekend
How you're feeling
Your future events
Compliments on clothes, hair, bag, etc.
Your family
Your job

Neutral statements that might spark a conversation

Wow it's so hot/cold today!
I wonder if…
