Hobnobbing is the act of seeking out and engaging in casual conversation with select people. Often, these people are notable, such as elected officials, celebrities or professionals or of higher social status.
The hobnober is sometimes seeking to satisfy an urge to speak with an accomplished person. An example of an extreme urge would be a factitious disorder imposed on another where the caregiver simply wants to talk to a doctor for the sake of conversation. A more moderate urge would be a fan who uses a backstage pass to meet a rock star.
