I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'i do apologise' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'name-drop outrageously?' is the wordplay.
'outrageously?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'outrageously' mean this).
'name'+'drop'='namedrop'
'namedrop' anagrammed gives 'PARDON ME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pardon me that I've seen before include "Polite apology" , "Sorry" , "Say that again!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
