cancelling

To cancel someone (usually a celebrity or other well-known figure) means to stop giving support to that person. The act of canceling could entail boycotting an actor's movies or no longer reading or promoting a writer's works.

Did you hear that Celebrity X said this thing about women? Cancelling this misogynistic pig is the just thing to do!

cancellation bear

Originally used by TvByTheNumbers, the "cancellation bear" is the theory that TV shows are only in real danger of being cancelled if they're the lowest performers, much like the slowest in a group of people would get mauled by a bear.

I love Parks and Rec. I hope the cancellation bear is out to get Whitney so Parks gets renewed!

Cancel the Breadsticks

Phrase originated in Phoenix, Arizona. This saying applies when one has decided to pursue a course of action that differs from what was previously planned. It also applies when changing the subject of a conversation that has either been interrupted by someone whom you don't want included in the conversation or that has become uninteresting to one of the parties.

- "Yo, that girl Shelly is crazy... did you hear what went on between her and Mark?

- "Nah man let's hear it."

- "It's crazy man, over the weekend..."

<One member of the conversation sees Shelly approaching>

- "Whoa. Cancel the breadsticks on that one."
