n. the specific elitism in which the party exhibiting such arrogance attempts to insult a social networking friend (like on Facebook or twitter) by posting an insult on the given friend's page followed by the proclaimation, "I am now going to defriend you!" or "I shall now unfollow you!" Important: the party exhibiting delitism values his own opinion above all else and intern sees his rejection as the ultimate way to insult another. Alas, as this is bizarre and irrational, the Deletist often becomes the butt of many a joke.

Person guilty of Deletism: "Jesus? You're a Christian? That means you're stupid so I shall hearby de-friend you. I'm telling you instead of just doing it because I assume you actually care about what I think and I get off on insulting people."

When it comes to engines, the term "deleting" refers to the removal of one or more of the emissions control devices that the engine came with. When an emissions device is "deleted", the device and any other relevant components in question are physically removed and the engine is then re-tuned to run without said device.
"Deleting" is different from "defeating" in the sense that "deleting" refers to physically removing emissions devices, but "defeating" involves disabling emissions devices while leaving all of them in place on the engine. For example, an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) cooler can be defeated by welding it shut in some spot or blocking it off from one or both ends by inserting a metal plate between the cooler and the exhaust or intake manifold. DPF's (Diesel Particulate Filters) can be defeated by being drilled out or by installing bypass pipes.
On Diesel engines, people who do deletes will typically remove EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) systems and DPF's (Diesel Particulate Filters), as these two systems are infamous for drastically increasing a Diesel engine's fuel consumption.

Here in Michigan we no longer have any kind of emissions testing, which means that today you can find quite a few deleted Diesel trucks, and even some cars and SUV's, running around in the state.
