Sanan ( סנן In Hebrew ) is a slang term used to describe a person who constantly avoids answering to calls and messages. In order to be a true Sanan, one has to actively ignore messages and calls directed to him when it's convenient.

Sanans typically like to say that they are not ignoring messages even though every fact states otherwise, and sometimes they even go further and claim that you are the true Sanan. Make sure to always answer your messages!

Sabanated 

Proper verb. Synoymous with "terminated". It is what happens to formerly popular and successful college football coaches after particularly embarrassing or multiple losses to coach Nick Saban and and his team, the Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama. The term applies whether the affected coach is fired in shame, or is allowed to step down and maintain a degree of dignity.
Who do you think will be the next great coach to get "Sabanated" and leave the SEC for good?

She's a brilliant friend who will listen to you no matter what. The name literally means patience. She is really funny and she will care for you more than you think. She is an angel in disguise who knows to handle situation with ease and perfection. If treated right, she can give you the whole world just to make you smile. One should treat her well if he/she wants to be treated well because she's a believer in "tit for tat". If you are looking for a person with a warm heart, Sahana is the one you are looking for. If you have Sahana as a friend, you have an angel as a friend.
Oh my god! You have got Sahana as your friend? Just like a needle in a haystack.
