notwith

to notwith is to stand obviously at a distance from someone at a party or business gathering : a colleague who was sent with you to the meeting, but whom you despise; or an ex you were together with for a fair time but now parted from... it's a kinda public statement.

They sent that moron from Publicity with me on the freebie -- so I made a point to notwith him at all the meetings and parties just to let them know...

She was there at the party, so I had to notwith her, otherwise people would be going on about 'you two...'

The bastard chose to notwith me all evening... ambitious crawler, we're supposed to have represented the firm as a pair...
