The act of removing citations to another person's work from your own paper out of malice or resentment. This is most relevant to academic fields of research, though could be applied in other contexts as well.
"Dr. Smith was so condescending today that I am going to spite uncite him from my upcoming paper in Science!"

Derogatory term for the White House, used when the current administration, during a government shutdown, closes open area parks, memorials, roadways that are otherwise open 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week plus closes down large areas of the ocean, throws elderly people out of their privately owned homes that sit on federal land, shuts down the amberalert.gov website, etc. all out of spite. These spiteful actions are meant to hurt as many Americans as possible for no other purpose than to score political points.

A nickname for the White House under the Obama administration in late 2013, when during the partial government shutdown, many questionable decisions were made about what to keep up open versus what to shut down or bar from the general public. The decisions appeared to be made to make the American people "feel the pain" of the shutdown who would have otherwise not noticed; therefore, said to be done by the Obama administration out of spite and in efforts to drum up anger. The Obama administration apparently decided to close national parks, barricade ("Barrycade") open-air memorials, put cones along roadways that are otherwise usually open, restrict fishermen from the waters, evict residents out of their privately-owned homes on federal land, shut down the Amber Alert website, etc. while keeping other non-essential programs and services open, such as the golf course where Obama and members of the administration play golf.
"Who wants to visit the WWII Memorial this weekend?"
"We can't, the Spite House has it blocked with a Barrycade."

Celebrated six days before Valentine's Day, February 8th, to ensure maximum ill will. It is a day to release contempt in SPITE of the Hallmark Holiday. DYI hate cards and hard-as-rocks pastries are given to couples, while delicious SPITE treats are spread to the joyous single masses... or to whomever you want, really. If you do not like a certain person, then SPITE them.
Go forth, and be repugnant!
