When a person expresses love, interest, or affection for someone or something and the person they are speaking to only says "Ditto", like Patrick Swayze in the movie Ghost.

When someone ignores your text, email, or other message on one platform while they received it and are online and active and on another with the intent of you not knowing it. This applies to anyone not solely someone you were dating. Seeing a read receipt in a text but getting a 'snap' from them the same hour. Getting a Facebook like or IG like after they ignored your text. Seeing them update their status or online on FB messenger without responding. The act of them avoiding you in their most direct form of communication while they are still active on less direct forms.

When someone stops talking to you all of a sudden and leave you wondering what you could have done wrong.

When someone you talk to often suddenly stops speaking to you and ignores all your messages. They become a "ghost" since it's like they are no longer there.
1.) The act of disappering on your friends without notice.
2.) Cancelling plans with little or no notice.

1. ignoring (someone) completely: a 'cold shoulder' treatment so severe that the targeted individual effectively ceases to exist to the person by whom they have been 'ghosted'.
2. having sex completely under the sheets (a common practice in shared bedrooms, youth hostels, and homeless shelters); the visual product of 'ghosting' is typically a writhing, ghost-like mass on the surface of the bed (some seem to believe that they are totally invisible to onlookers while 'ghosting', but this is generally not the case).
3. achieving orgasm without ejaculating (or with a 'dry-ejaculation'); this can sometimes be achieved by pinching the base of the penis during orgasm to flush the semen into the bladder or by having ejaculated multiple times in succession to discharge all available semen before attempting to 'ghost' (neither method is reliable)
4. a rarely used, truncated, alternate term for 'ghostriding the whip'; preferred by some to the acronymic 'GRTW' (pronounced gertwah)

1. Dave: "it's not fair Charlie... your girlfriend sleeps over every night while mine has been ghosting me for weeks."
2. Dave: "what the fuck Charlie?! are you guys ghosting over there again??? The whole room smells like fecal now!! Fucking gross!!!"
3. Charlie: "as long as I'm ghosting, you can't get pregnant" Jen: "that doesn't sound right... just put it in my bum"
4. Charlie: "We got busted ghosting in the walmart lot again last night... Fuckin' pigs!" Dave: "serves you right, dipshit, gertwah is for faggots"

The act of suddenly ceasing all communication, particularly electronic communication with a specific person, and it usually involves the "ghoster" completely blocking electronically the "ghostee" from being able to communicate with them. The "ghoster" usually does this to the person that they are dating and/or romantically involved with, but no longer wishes to either date and/or be romantically involved with. Ghosting is done in hopes that the ghostee will just "get the hint" (i.e tick tock) and leave the ghoster alone, as opposed to the "ghoster" communicating their true feelings in a manner akin to an adult. Ghosting is not specific to a certain gender (although females engage in the behavior more than males) and is closely related to the subject's maturity, communication and ability to deal with conflict skills.
Ghosting is the providence of emotional, behavioral and situational cowards. Ghosting is the operative, almost default behavior of choice for conflict avoidant/conflict adverse/self-absorbed/self-centered/selfish people because it is easier to "ghost" than to deal with conflict. It is easier to blow someone off than to do introspection. Whoa, that's way too scary for ghosters.

Lisa has blocked me on both Facebook and WhatsApp and all my calls go directly to voice mail. I think she's ghosting me because we have not spoken in a week.
