snip and ditch

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

The swift social maneuver of cutting someone out of your life the moment you discover they're problematic, followed by a hasty exit. It's the modern art of boundary-setting with extreme prejudice, usually deployed when someone reveals a dealbreaker behavior like animal cruelty or pyramid scheme enthusiasm. Think ghosting, but with justification and purpose.

Example Usage

"Found out my coworker is into some seriously sketchy stuff, so I had to snip and ditch before drama ensued."
