The primary difference is that “conversation” is necessarily two-way — two or more people interchanging an utterance.
“Talk”, on the other hand, may involved only a single person speaking, with everyone else in the room just listening (or perhaps ignoring the speaker) Of course, some people talk to each other, but if they don’t like it, they’re having
a conversation.

What most people are missing is that “of” is preposition, and prepositions are slippery beasts. What are the “rules of prepositions” versus “Norms of Prepositions”, which some people assume are complex, if not to say incomprehensible?
What should I do if I am a purist, and wish to be pure in English? The “If I had the time, I would have eaten sooner” is a prepositional phrase which somehow modifies “I would”.
What are the benefits of speaking/writing without any English teacher’s starch to them? After all, it’s how (they think) their parents speak.
Yes, that’s what they think about. Yeah, that’s how they sound.

This word is used for “eat shit” in the sense of “go to hell!”. “, first appear in Ngram in the 1950s.
It’s a fairly rude phrase, its use, in the 60s, was probably rarely recorded on durable media, even if it was spoken with fair frequency.
(Speaking as someone born in 1949, I never got the impression that the expression was somehow ‘new’.) To me, it was an immature affair (I had a fairly sheltered youth,
but I did hear it on occasions) One can be a little careful about seeing the words “I won’t eat shit for 2 days and I was extremely hungry when I finally got to the camp.”) ”
In simple words, ” “The life of a man is beautiful, but with great potential…”
