Silencing (ˈsaɪ.lənsɪŋ)
Definition:
1. (Verb) The act of shutting someone down in a conversation by ignoring, dismissing, or overriding them—often in a way that makes them feel irrelevant, unheard, or excluded.
Silencing isn’t just interrupting someone—it’s when someone (or a whole group) actively disregards what you say, making you feel like your words don’t matter.
The person being silenced might get a half-hearted “Aha” before the conversation moves on, or they’re completely ignored as if they weren’t even speaking.
2. (Noun) A toxic social dynamic where someone is made to feel invisible in a discussion by being ignored, dismissed, or talked over—either by individuals or by an entire Silent Team.
Silent Teams are groups that subtly silence someone by collectively excluding them from the conversation, either intentionally or unconsciously.
Being silenced makes you feel like the third wheel, even when you’re actively trying to participate.

Get the Silencing mug.When you want to get some from the old ladie and she says she is going to have a shower. So you wait outside the bathroom while she is showering so she can't hear Jerking off and when she opens the door she gets a load.

Get the Silence is Violence Night mug.The act of two homosexual un-circumsized men begin the sexual act of inserting one long object into each of their urethra, also known as "Sounding". They must insert the object deep enough into their urethras that the tips of their penises are touching. Once the object is fully inserted and the tips touching, the two homosexual men must now "dock" each other. Since the object is clogging both homosexual men, neither can release their semen, thus, silencing the most intense orgasms.
