To disregard or ignore.
There are Countless methods of barring, such as... VERBAL BARRING where you blatantly disregard what someone is saying, and begin talking to someone else... SOCIAL BARRING, such as when you and your buddies suddenly become "undecided" or "unsure" of your evening plans when your fat, dorky, ugly suitemate asks if he can go party with you.
Best done when everyone around knows the person got barred EXCEPT the Bar Victim him/herself.
