Humor. Sales. Compassion. Just being plain ole likable. Some people just can't hold a conversation. Other people can be friends with everyone they meet. That's a skill. You ever been at the store and some 3yr old walks up to you and starts telling you all about their life. That kids got social skills. Then other kids hide behind their parents legs, can't even make eye contact. Different strokes for different folks.

Often in N.America and UK "social skills" means a pattern of behaviors that demonstrate your ethics and morals. Most of the times these are conventional things associated with culture. Examples:
-Say “thank you” or say “I am sorry”
-Excuse your self when you make an error
-Respect other people’s opinions.
-Do not yell at others or argue with other without a good reason.
-Greetings such as hi, how are you, whats up… (Specially in Canada, this is important)
-Wiliness to work with others.
-Properly refuse something that you don’t like rather than making a fight over it.
-In a relationship, the peaceful conversations going between two people.
There are many more… I think we all have to learn them by experience.

Social skills are skills a social animal uses to interact and communicate with others to assist status in the social structure and other motivations. Social rules and social relations are created, communicated, and changed in verbal and nonverbal ways creating social complexity useful in identifying outsiders and intelligent breeding partners. The process of learning these skills is called socialization.
Examples
Verbal communication
Small talk or conversation
Sharing Jokes
Sharing and discussing ideas (politics, religion, sports, music, fashion, and movies are all common topics.)
Teaching or learning
Nonverbal communication
Active listening
Body language
Both verbal and nonverbal
Conflict resolution
