Rejection

I recently spent time with my mom in Arizona because we were both attending a family friend’s event. Not only was it great to see lots of friends and family because I haven’t seen them in years but reminiscing with everyone was precious. As we looked around to see who might over hear us, it was also a little thrilling to hear the whispered updates about those who were there and those who didn’t come to the party. This celebration was more than I expected and as a bonus, I was able to conduct a little unofficial research for this post.

Ghosting

When we were in our twenties, my hub had a term that he would use when he was finished drinking at the bar and wanted to go home. He would say that he was going to the bathroom but slip away without saying goodbye to anyone. He called that move the “Casper.” He made like a friendly ghost and disappeared. In other words, he Caspered.
