Deletism

n. the specific elitism in which the party exhibiting such arrogance attempts to insult a social networking friend (like on Facebook or twitter) by posting an insult on the given friend's page followed by the proclaimation, "I am now going to defriend you!" or "I shall now unfollow you!" Important: the party exhibiting delitism values his own opinion above all else and intern sees his rejection as the ultimate way to insult another. Alas, as this is bizarre and irrational, the Deletist often becomes the butt of many a joke.
