snub or any other perceived/real social slight.
Dave: I sent a friend invite to
Nelson over Facebook and got rejected.
Mike: pfffft. Why do you want to be
friends with Nelson for anyway? The guy was basically a total dick to you back in high school.
Dave: Yeah I know, but people change right?
Mike:
Dude, get some self-esteem.
