Sorry your coworkers are pestering you but it's usually better to be direct in a professional setting. I just tell juniors to do their proper research before bombarding me with questions.
Outside of work this feels a bit rude though. My GF asks me how traffic or the weather is daily. I'll answer and transition the conversation to other aspects of the day. We call this "small talk".
