Also known as
the pass off.
At a party, you enter in a
conversation with a friend and either a monet or other cool-from-afar type of person, usually long-winded, a close talker, or other party foul-esque character . When your friend makes a hasty retreat, leaving you alone with the
third party to talk your ear off, he or she has been handed off.
N: You totally pulled a hand off with that asshole
back there, you dick!
L: Sorry dude, he wouldn't stop talking about his new
rice cooker; I thought you'd be better suited to
deal with it!
