cold shoulder 

An effective and common technique guys use to break out of a friend zone. This is effective especially when the guy made a screw-up when asking for a date.

This is utilized in order to hopefully force a girl to wipe a clean slate off a guy who is just not good enough for her as a way to erase a screw-up. Much later, the girl will start to miss him and will hopefully reconsider.

Cold Shoulder Chat 

Occurs when two people are chatting online, particularly facebook chat, and one person says they cannot talk anymore. The person signs off to show they're offline to purposely stop talking, then signs right back on. AKA shutting you out.

Reasons for this include annoyance, you don't know the person, or you are just having a bad day and do not want to carry on a conversation that is completely pointless.
