Oh, I totally understand now. Thanks to both of you. <33

Name dropping is when you introduce the name of someone cool or famous into a conversation to make it look like you are a cool or famous person as well. The name is not part of the story, you just "drop" it into the conversation. eg I really like this new restaurant, when I saw George Clooney there he seemed to enjoy it as well

Name dropping is saying someones name in a sentence. Usually someone famous or well known Usually unnecessary- as in people dont need to know who you had lunch with but saying their name makes it look like you are either popular or important.
