When someone ignores the other person like that person does not even exist. The phrase is derived from cricket where a batsmen lets the ball go to the wicketkeeper.

Get the well leftmug. The left wing answer to the alt-right: dumb, uninformed angry people on the internet getting themselves worked up about trivial feel-good causes and superficial social justice issues while ignoring actual left-wing values like worker's rights, environmental protection, and actual social justice. Found on places like Tumblr, Huffington Post, and Upworthy.
The pop-left is protesting about student housing officials at Harvard being called "House Masters", from the latin "Magister" or "teacher". In other news, a Walmart employees' union has been shut down, a Mississippi judge was caught accepting bribes for sending innocent people to private prisons, and a carbon-limiting treaty was rejected, but no one cares.

Get the pop-leftmug. To have friends or family that pretend to look out for your best interest, but these persons only send you cards or gifts when you complain. To complain and not have anyone listen except when it bothers a friend or relative personally.
I was left banked at that last job. The accounting department would never say hi to me unless I was at the company picnic with my ex.

Get the left bankedmug. "We got a fuckin left laner here, clogging up the passing lane. I wish these motherfuckers would just stay home."

Get the Left lanermug. A direction that only southern gentlemen from Texas understand. It does not always mean left, but in fact means any direction the user desires with the reciever having to interpret the meaning by using his southern gentlemen powers.

Get the Texas Leftmug. The discontent with the status quo that was beginning to seethe apon college campuses drew young veterns of the civil rights struggle to a meeting in Port Huron, Michigan, in 1962. During that meeting they organized Stundents for a Democratic Society, whose soul purpose was to tear apart militarism, racial injustice, and poverty.
New Lefists gained national attention in 1964 when administrators at the Unversity of California at Berkeley banned on-campus recruiting of civil rights workers and fund-raising for the movement. The ban ingited the FSM(Free Speech Movement), which staged protests including a massive sit-in and arrest of some 800 people. The FSM became the model for campus protest, however the the issue of free speech soon paled before a much more pressing matter of stundent concern: the Vietnam War.

My friend says that the New Left was simply a bunch of early hippies with a "/real/ cause", but she doesn't understand much about the goverment... in any time period. Especially the 1960's.
