Nuke with Salted Earth

The act of blocking and deleting a person from social media, phone and everything else given with an explanation of why a relationship will never work; forever destroying the possibility of ever meeting again. Much more polite and complete than ghosting. A relationship nuked is utterly destroyed and forever gone.

I found out she does meth so I had to nuke with Salted Earth our relationship.

Salt of the earth

A practice in ancient warfare where conquerors would deliberately spread salt over the lands of a defeated enemy, rendering the soil infertile and unsuitable for farming.

Hope it was worth it, people like yourself are the salt of the earth, bring nothing but famine and destruction to the land
