On read

When someone receives one or more text messages from another person but doesn’t respond, they’re leaving the sender on read. As in, the sender can see that their texts were read, but there’s no reply.

(Pronounced as “on red.”)

“Jason texted me five times last night but I left him on read.”

Left on read

When you text, snapchat, dm, inbox, etc. someone and you wait a little for them to answer. And you see they opened or read the message and they don't answer for a while or even at all.
