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 Silencingmug. A dick that's 6.85 inches. With a diameter of 2.17 inches. It's ability is about 35% and it's shaft curve is 21 degrees. While the shaft angle is -16 degrees. The glans angle is -8 degrees. Shaft expansion rate is 96% and Glans expansion rate is 100%. This dick is good. Average size, but still good overall. A really hot guy probably has a dick like this. Or not, who knows? Not me.
