a term used to describe when someone they have been communicating with abruptly stops all communications. This includes phone calls, text messages, emails, fax, video, zoom, carrier pigeon, western union, snap chat, and dm's.
These actions are usually preceded by many a broken promises to "hang out", "have a drink or two", "come over' or "catch up" on the part of the Ghoster. Also, most likely, pertinent details such as location, address, unit number, phone number, people in attendance, starting time, ending time, and probable prior invites to other locales are almost always conveniently left out of the initial invite.
The Ghostee is left wondering whether the person that was just texting them seconds, minutes. or hours ago is now alive or dead. Neither can be definitively proven just like the existence of ghosts.

Get the Ghostedmug. The profile of one's body (predominantly the ass cheeks) that is left after getting up from the couch or their preferred chair after a long stint of inactivity.
Typically found in the wake of heavier-set individuals getting up for more Mt. Dew or seen as a Dorito-crumb outline on the gaming chairs Weebs watch anime in.
Not to be confused with the ass-print you leave on a chair when sweaty.

noun, informal
1. A person who has deliberately turned off read receipts in a messaging application, making it impossible for the sender to know whether the message has been read, thereby creating an air of uncertainty. A technique often employed by those who are: habitual liars, privacy ‘enthusiasts’, and/or those who only use people for selfish purposes while ghosting (in an unprovable way) the rest of the time.
Pronunciation: /ri d rɪˈsi t goʊst/
