If you are talking to someone you really don't want to be talking to but you kind of just ARE somehow, are there any body-language type things you can do to gesture (as if you aren't gesturing) that you gotta leave?

-
squeeze your thighs together and stare at the bathroom longingly
-
check your watch frequently.
-
Pull out your car keys or grab your coat and put it on....hopefully, they will get the hint. :)
-
Restrict eye contact. Look in the direction that you're intending to go a lot, (if you're outside). Turn your phone off! :-)
-
Scream, point to something behind them, turn and run.

If you are sitting down, one of the fastest ways to end a conversation, is to stand up. Then slowly make your way to the door, as you tell them, "I'll talk to you later..."
-
Fake a page. Or, since no one uses pages anymore, fake a phone call. Or just tell the person you need to go, or that you need to make a phone call. Try this... "Hey, do you know what time it is" "It's 3:45" "Oh crap. I meant to call ------ at 3:40! Shoot shoot, [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted]" Pull out your phone and walk away, mumbling to yourself how screwed you are.

You can simply point your feet towards the exit door when sitting. Or if standing, slowly start standing sideways, facing the exit door, Or go bold, and be the aggressor, and slowly inch your way closer and closer to the person your talking to, so that you invade thier personal space (some call it "inside thier bubble"), they will start to feel uncomfortable and they will end the conversation, and not fast enough.

Fold your arms, with your fists clinched (defenesive move) If sitting, do the same, and cross your legs, again take a defensive postoure, they should start to back off, cause you're telling them to back off.
