ghost

Definitions & examples

Usually means “boo!” in a fun, playful way — not scary at all. It can also mean “I disappeared” (as in ghosting someone), or that you’re being a little mysterious or silly.

Your friend texts you after you haven’t replied for three days.
Sorry for ghosting 👻 I swear I’m alive again

Cross-cultural

In Gen Z slang, 👻 is a humorous way of saying “I disappeared on purpose,” turning ghosting into playful chaos rather than a real apology.
