ghostbaiting

A term for an adjacent phenomenon to ghosting, in which someone you have been interacting with through text or social media doesn't ignore you altogether, but instead takes 3 days to reply to you, and does it in perfunctory, monosyllabic fashion hoping that you'll get the drift and disappear for them.
Hey dude, how’s it going with you and Jennifer?

Not great. She only responds every couple days with one-word texts, I think she’s ghostbaiting me.
