Name Drop Violation 

When somebody you know who is a notorious "name-dropper " crosses the line and starts to reference unpopular people as famous or people that have too many degrees of separation from "said"celebrity, hence siblings, in-laws or distant relations as famous or interesting in any way.

Pablo was pumped to have the sister of the founder of a "major silicon valley social media company" attend his happy hour, Roberto and I both felt this was a major "Name Drop Violation".

name drop

To casually drop the name of a famous person who you, a friend or relative know, so as to appear cool vicariously because you know a famous person.

Hey, my brother was hanging out with (insert celebrity name here) the other day. He says they're pretty cool.

Man, I hate Ben. His dad works in the entertainment industry so all he does is name drop all day.
