From the pragmatic programmer's guide:

##################################################################
  method_missing     	 obj.method_missing( aSymbol [, *args  ] ) -> anObject
	Invoked by Ruby when obj is sent a message it cannot handle. aSymbol is the symbol for the method called, and args are any arguments that were passed to it. 
###################################################################

	#code sample start
	class Foo
	  def method_missing(s, *args)
	    puts s
	  end
	end
	f = Foo.new
	f.random_name 
	#code sample end

when executed this gives

	random_name

as output
