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!
