Softshut

To gently close off a connection, conversation, or relationship without confrontation, explanation, or drama.
There’s no goodbye, just a quiet fading—a polite emotional retreat.

Often used when someone slowly stops replying or making an effort, without officially ending things.

I softshut that friendship last year. It wasn’t working, and I didn’t want a scene.

An inoffensive but dimwitted person. Used in Merseyside U.K.

1st person.....So let me get this straight; you were in the shop when a man came in, put a balaclava over his head, pulled out a baseball bat and then threatened the owner before asking for all of his money?
Softshite......Yes, that is exactly what happened.
1st person......And what were you doing while all this was going on?
Softshite......I was holding his bike for him.
