Ghosting

Ghosting is an online term that can have at least two meanings

First:
Ghosting can mean the viewing of a stream/streamer for the purpose of gaining information that could be used to gain an advantage against them (no matter if they're a team or an individual)

Second:
Ghosting can mean the shutdown/ceasing of communication with someone without notice. This can include but doesn't always require the closing or shutting down of social media accounts or ports of contact such as email addresses or phone numbers.

First Example - In an esports tournament watching a stream of the game you/your team are playing for to gain an unfair advantage over the enemy. Thus you have ghosted the enemy.

Second Example - When you do not wish to continue a friendship or relationship with someone you might decide to cease all communication with them. Ghosting them.

Ghosting

The act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone the subject is dating, but no longer wishes to date. This is done in hopes that the ghostee will just "get the hint" and leave the subject alone, as opposed to the subject simply telling them he/she is no longer interested. Ghosting is not specific to a certain gender and is closely related to the subject's maturity and communication skills. Many attempt to justify ghosting as a way to cease dating the ghostee without hurting their feelings, but it in fact proves the subject is thinking more of themselves, as ghosting often creates more confusion for the ghostee than if the subject kindly stated how he/she feels.

Carmen: How was your second date with Kyle?
Beth: I thought it went well, but I've texted him a couple of times since then and he's been ghosting me.
Carmen: What? I thought he was more mature than that.

Ghosting

When someone ignores your text, email, or other message on one platform while they received it and are online and active and on another with the intent of you not knowing it. This applies to anyone not solely someone you were dating. Seeing a read receipt in a text but getting a 'snap' from them the same hour. Getting a Facebook like or IG like after they ignored your text. Seeing them update their status or online on FB messenger without responding. The act of them avoiding you in their most direct form of communication while they are still active on less direct forms.

You liked my post on IG but you won't text me back...? Why you ghosting me?

ghosting that dog turd

When you are walking your dog and its takes a gigantic poop in your neighbor's yard. Instead of actually picking it up in a plastic bag, you reach just adjacent to it with a bagged hand, thus simulating a responsible neighbor cleaning up after its dog. If you want to complete the ruse, you actually tie the bag full and toss it in the nearest trash can.

Wife: "Honey, are you going to pick that up?"
Husband: "Are you kidding me? Do you see the size of that poop? I'm going ghosting that dog turd."

Ghosting-19

When a person gets vaccinated for COVID-19 then cuts off all communication with their friends or the person they’re dating, with zero warning or notice beforehand. You’ll mostly see them stepping outside then turning back inside, sitting in parked running cars, and sobbing in the grocery aisle shouting there’s just too many people.

I haven’t seen Tom since he got his second Moderna shot. I think he’s ghosting-19 me.
