To engage in "symboling" is to go out of your way to make someone else look bad, usually through blatant lies, unnecessary cockblocking, or "dry snitching." It’s the act of creating a false, negative image of a person or a community to ruin their reputation or their chances in a social situation.

The Symboler: "Wait, bro... ain't you 26 and she's 16?"

Target: "Man, quit symboling! I’m 19 and you know it. Why you trying to make me look like a predator?"
