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!
