When someone is supposed to be listening to another person's conversation, when really they are thinking of something else (often of something innapropriate of the conversation itself), and are asked a certain question relative to the topic you were supposed to be listening to. that causes you to draw a big, huge blank.
When you come up with a quick, sudden distraction to avoid having to actually answer the question (and thus look like an idiot and/or get in trouble), the name for that action is to Dodge the Fumble or dodging the fumble.
