It is not formal at all! If you are at a cocktail party and someone is talking about Einstein's Theory of Relativity and you don't have any idea about what they are talking about you could say: "I beg your indulgence; I am a country boy from Alabama and I don't have a clue about what you are talking about! Could you explain the theory in words I can understand?"How formal is it?
