If I was at a party and I saw a couple people that I am trying to impress or make friends with and they were having a conversation about something that I relatively knew a lot about. I would first just stand there and wait until the perfect time to introduce myself and get in on the conversation and show them that I am educated in what they are discussing and know what I am talking about. To show them that I am not just some creeper, I would wait until one had a question for the other person and then answer it so that the person asking the question gets the idea that I actually know what I am talking about. Or I would wait until a pause in the conversation and come in and put my opinions/thoughts about the subject matter. FLIPPING the scene around would be the easier part. If I was having a conversation with my friend and someone comes around and tries to get in on the conversation I would first I would listen to what they say and their opinions on the subject and if I relate and know what they are saying and agree in the slightest way I will engage them into the conversation and make it a three way conversation.
I think the best way to see if someone knows what they are talking about is to try to relate as well. Just to see if you had ever heard anything about what they are saying or you can tell If they are just making it up as they go.
