/Sounds like "klah" (as in "clap") + "BAHR" (as in "bar") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "BEES" (as in "bee") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

To read a message and intentionally not reply, to leave someone on read on purpose and calculated. It's the modern form of ghosting that causes more anger than a direct response.

Examples

Don't leave me on read, at least reply with an emoji.

Regional synonyms
