1. A Presidential power where he vetos a bill by leaving it unsigned until congress is out of session.
2. A Facebook and Myspace tactic where rather than rejecting a comment or friend request you leave it in limbo nither rejected nor accepted. less harsh than a real rejection it also means that the person cannot send another request as long as you have not decided on their original request.

The act of taking no act, most often used as a passive aggressive response to undesirable advances. Easiest way to "respond" to a written request to have lunch or just-go-do-something. Neither "yes" nor "no," but really "no."
Hey, you know I think you're pretty cool and all. I was wondering if you weren't doing anything this weekend if you wanna catch a movie or something...
