What is the cold shoulder?

Occurs when two people are chatting online, particularly facebook chat, and one person says they cannot talk anymore. The person signs off to show they're offline to purposely stop talking, then signs right back on. AKA shutting you out.

Reasons for this include annoyance, you don't know the person, or you are just having a bad day and do not want to carry on a conversation that is completely pointless.

Dude 1- "I was talking to Karen the other night and she said she had to go. But then when she signed off, she signed right back in."

Dude 2- "Man, you totally got the cold shoulder chat."

Dude 1- "Do you think I have any luck with her?"

Dude 2- "No way in hell man..."

The cold shoulder - what does it mean?

An effective and common technique guys use to break out of a friend zone. This is effective especially when the guy made a screw-up when asking for a date.

This is utilized in order to hopefully force a girl to wipe a clean slate off a guy who is just not good enough for her as a way to erase a screw-up. Much later, the girl will start to miss him and will hopefully reconsider.
