Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like the English word "ghost" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To stop replying to messages and disappear without any explanation, as if you were an invisible ghost. It's the most cowardly and common way to end any relationship, friendship, or conversation in the digital age.

Examples

She ghosted me after three dates, never replied again.

Don't ghost him, at least tell him you're not interested.

Regional synonyms

A shy, bookish, or socially awkward person who comes across as naive and unworldly. Think the kid who always had their nose in a textbook and never really hung out after school. In Chile and Argentina the word can sting a little or feel almost affectionate depending on who says it and how.
