Read Receipt Ghost (pronounced: reed ree-SEET gohst)
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/
