subtract the "O" 

- Commonly used at social events to take action in escaping the aoe of a certain individual (more than often a snoody, stuck up cunt).

Explained: To subtract the "o" from snood would make the word snod (an adjective for smooth, sleek). So by leaving the "O", one's current position is relieved of the snood, and life goes on.
Guy 1: "I can't stand this, my bitchometer just went off.. I'm gonna have to subtract the "O"

Guy 2: "Feelings mutual brother, it's a shame she's practically shielding the jungle juice from the whole damn party..."

B Man(snoods boyfriend) - "Whats up fellas, this is my girlfriend --"

Friend 1 - "Time to subtract" (leaves)
Friend 2 - "Minusing..." (leaves)
Friend 3 - "Don't like the looks of this equation, later bro!"

"There's no way we're bringing a subtractor with us; tell Capt. Buzzkill he can stay home and destroy his own life."

"If there is some way we can get them to hire a subtractor, their campaign will be doomed."

History of this definition:
I wrote an article in response to news about doctors stabbing infants with vaccine needles and the infants would soon die. Included was a simple formula to explain the logic of this problem where I referred to the doctor as like a “subtractor” because they minus life either directly or indirectly, and intentionally or haplessly. I decided to define a “subtractor” further to include individuals that people don’t want around because they bring misfortune, screw up lives and are generally useless in a crisis.
