I’m sure most of us have experienced a time when we met someone and within a few minutes we’ve forgotten his or her name. AU Interactive has some brilliant tips for saving yourself when you can’t remember someone’s name. My personal favorite is:
3. Introduce them to a friend. Use the friend ploy where you introduce them to someone you know by saying, “Hey, have you met my friend Walter? This is Walter Solbcheck … (spacey pause)… This is where they start saying their name, a split second after which you repeat the name like you were going to say it all along.

I use this trick all the time. Most of the time it works and other times I have to admit I’m having a brain fart and can’t remember anything.
