Name dropping is used to inflate one's stature in a conversation by linking oneself to a famous person or situation. This is sometimes done while talking about something completely different. The names are just "dropped" in there. Some attempts are more subtle than others but it is basically annoying.
I see those hats everywhere now. When I was at the inauguration for Obama they were all over the place. But when I met Rupaul at that charity party last month he said they are on their way out. And good riddance too!
Did you catch the name dropping in that conversation about hats? So subtle...

Get the dropping dimes mug.1. The action of 'breaking the ice' in such a way that you embarrass yourself. Instead of opening up a conversation with you, it results in you being shunned from the conversation and being spoken about badly.
2. The act of preventing an argument by entering the conflict and yelling a profound and unnecessary statement. Can often result in you taking full brunt of both arguing parties rage...but also makes for an amusing story later on in the day.
3. Revealing a contraceptive at an inappropriate occasion, resulting in being disowned by the rest of the group.
4. Opposite of rape, as opposed to being ‘owned’ you own yourself for the better of mankind. Like taking a bullet 'Harrison Ford from The Fugitive Style'. Essentially, taking one for the team with no regard for your own reputation- dropping a condom.
