Ghosting

The act of suddenly ceasing all communication, particularly electronic communication with a specific person, and it usually involves the "ghoster" completely blocking electronically the "ghostee" from being able to communicate with them. The "ghoster" usually does this to the person that they are dating and/or romantically involved with, but no longer wishes to either date and/or be romantically involved with. Ghosting is done in hopes that the ghostee will just "get the hint" (i.e tick tock) and leave the ghoster alone, as opposed to the "ghoster" communicating their true feelings in a manner akin to an adult. Ghosting is not specific to a certain gender (although females engage in the behavior more than males) and is closely related to the subject's maturity, communication and ability to deal with conflict skills.

Ghosting is the providence of emotional, behavioral and situational cowards. Ghosting is the operative, almost default behavior of choice for conflict avoidant/conflict adverse/self-absorbed/self-centered/selfish people because it is easier to "ghost" than to deal with conflict. It is easier to blow someone off than to do introspection. Whoa, that's way too scary for ghosters.

Lisa has blocked me on both Facebook and WhatsApp and all my calls go directly to voice mail. I think she's ghosting me because we have not spoken in a week.

ghosting out

/1/ To duck out of work early, or to escape from an awkward social situation in a sneaky manner.

/2/ or to sleep sitting up with a blanket covering your upper torso, legs optional.

"hey dude im gonna ghost out of here, my boss left work early"

"why is he sitting up with a blanket over his head, why doesnt he just sleep lying down? oh yeah he must be ghosting out"

Instagram-Ghosting

Instagram-ghosting is when you add someone on Instagram just to get them to follow you back then as soon as they do you unfollow them hoping they wont notice. People do this to gain more followers than adds and to appear popular.
Sometimes people add lists of people in bulk and unfollow them again in bulk. This usually cultivates tens of followers and likes.

It's quite rude and needy.

Instagram-Ghosting: I thought this model added me on instagram because they liked my pictures but as soon as they got my follow-back they Instagram-ghosted me.

An Instagram-Ghost followed me on instagram today.

Gusting

When your are about to go down on your fine lady friend, but first you nee to check if she has washed so you put your face only a small distance away from the vagina under scrutiny and you use your left hand to gentle waft the air towards your nose while taking a stealthy inhale to check the pungency.

Nan!? NAN!? Are you trying to gust me!? Ridiculous! You better know I wash bitch! - or - I've caught you gusting me you saggy little shit!

Mutual Ghosting

To describe when two people have hung out with each other and the next day they mutually don’t text each other back because they *know* that time they spent together was not worth ever hanging out again.

Mutual ghosting: when you know, you know
