to pull an Oiiink

"To pull an Oiiink" is a synonyme for "to ghost someone", but not entirely ghosting. The ghosted person knows the ghoster read his message, sometimes the ghoster reacts with an emoji but doesn't reply. This word has its origins from EventAlerts, a public community, where the owner, Oiiink, often does this. The members of the server called it "to pull an Oiiink". Nowadays it is a broadly used term.
