Croutoning (verb) is used to describe someone who uses their higher
authority to silence any opinions or opposite views - including innocent jokes - that they do not agree with. This can range from being fired due to a higher up not agreeing with you
all the way down to being banned from an online server because you like a different type of cake. Usually, people who Crouton regularly end up reverting the silencing and claim that the action was a 'joke', then proceed to do the same action three minutes later.
People who Crouton also regularly jump to
conclusions about conversations, and not let anyone else speak but themselves.
Croutoning can also be used as a noun (Crouton) for situations where you are describing their actions. The word 'Croutoning' comes from how croutons are very weak and fragile.
