It is when you talk to someone without actually listening to them. For example, your boss is telling you instructions but your favorite TV show is on. You continue focusing on the TV but whenever your boss pauses or asks "OK?" you simply/automatically reply "uh-huh." in a monotone voice. Usually afterward you don't remember anything you were talking about.
