Cold shoulder 

The act of a person completely disregarding or ignoring another. This can be caused by a few things:

1. A person is in a bad mood and doesn't feel like talking to anyone.
2. A person says something so incredibly stupid that it doesn't deserve a response, thus the person is ignored.
I wanted to be friends with my ex, but she gave me the cold shoulder.

The Cold Shoulder

A tool of rejection in which the giver completely ignores the receiever, thereby giving him/her the 'cold shoulder'.
Delilah gave me the proverbial cold shoulder yesterday at work, not even regarding my presence in the copy room.

Cold Shoulder Chat 

Occurs when two people are chatting online, particularly facebook chat, and one person says they cannot talk anymore. The person signs off to show they're offline to purposely stop talking, then signs right back on. AKA shutting you out.

Reasons for this include annoyance, you don't know the person, or you are just having a bad day and do not want to carry on a conversation that is completely pointless.
Dude 1- "I was talking to Karen the other night and she said she had to go. But then when she signed off, she signed right back in."

Dude 2- "Man, you totally got the cold shoulder chat."

Dude 1- "Do you think I have any luck with her?"

Dude 2- "No way in hell man..."

Canadian Cold Shoulder 

A type of killing as defined by earlier Dutch (militia) settlers in Canada.
"Canadian Cold Shoulder" is when you sever either the right or left subclavian artery with a blade in the shoulder as you walk past the victim. Do to the rapid loss of blood, the body will decrease in temperature especially around the area of the wound. If the victim survives they will most definitely feel ice cold, hence the name "Canadian Cold Shoulder"

Lamens terms: stab victims shoulder while passing by, victim will bleed out & only see your back as you walk away, "Canadian Cold Shoulder"

(theres debate whether or not Dutch settlers used it against the aboriginals or if in fact it was a swift defence mechanism used against the settlers)
