What is Blacklisting?

Similar to being rick roll'd, a person is blacklisted when they get sent a Youtube link to something supposedly amazing only to find it is Rebecca Black's "Friday." In reality, it's about a million times worse than being rick roll'd because IT'S REBECCA BLACK

The other day my friend told me about this great new rap video, but when I clicked the link "Friday," was blasted at me. I was blacklisted.

Blacklisting - what does it mean?

A list of people that are untrustworthy; deserving of suspicion.

The liberal elites criticize at will, but will cry "Blacklisting! Blacklisting!" when others criticize them. Maybe they're right. Folks like Tim Robbins are worthy of suspicion.

Blacklisting - meaning

Originally stemming from fear of Communism (ie the red-scare),it means you were suspected of being involved in Communism, and were put on a list with other such people, though most had done nothing wrong. Being on this list prevented you from doing lots of everyday things.

More recently associated with Seinfeld, when Elaine got herself, and then her boyfriend, blacklisted at the best delivery Chinese Food place around. They refused to deliver to the people "on their list."

(note: I have not seen this episode for many years, so forgive me if this is not verbatim, but it is pretty close)

Delivery Man: here's your food
Elaine's boyfriend: thank you
Delivery Man, seeing Elaine: I know you! You're on our list!
Delivery Man, to Elaine's boyfriend: Now YOU are on our list, too!
Elaine's boyfriend, to Elaine: You got me blacklisted at Hop Sing's!?!?
