Hard-ghosted
Deliberately cutting off every digital route someone or something has to you—not just ignoring messages, but disabling location sharing, muting assistant access, dropping shared feeds, killing proximity permissions, and basically becoming unavailable to the network.
It’s the aggressive version of ghosting.

After COMPANION enrolled me in three wellness groups, I hard-ghosted the whole campus for the weekend.

kale-forward
nominally an actual institutional phrase, but funny enough that students could use it sarcastically for unwanted wellness intervention.

hard opted
fully opted out of passive campus tracking/data collection, rather than merely turning off a few features.

algo
bot-brained
Thinking or talking like a machine that has optimized itself past common sense—overly literal, weirdly procedural, or incapable of reading the room.
Usually used for someone who responds to a normal human situation with the kind of logic a badly designed assistant would use.
It can also mean conditioned by AI systems enough that automated logic starts feeling normal

Gait-tagging
When a surveillance system recognizes who you are by the way you walk instead of using your face, ID, or device.
It builds a biometric signature from things like stride length, posture, arm swing, pace, and movement rhythm, then uses that signature to identify or track you later.

"Turned off facial recognition but the campus still knew it was me. Turns out they were gait-tagging everyone."
