Read Receipt Ghost

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/
“I’ve been messaging him for days and either he turned off his read receipts or he’s not seen my messages; he’s a read receipt ghost.”
“Dude only texts me when he wants something, when I text, nothing. Dudes’ got read receipts turned off and says “I didn’t see your messages””
“I’ve noticed you’re a read receipt ghost, mind turning on your read receipts for me?”
