刚刚见过一面的人在社交网站上发出加好友请求,你不想加这个人,但是也不想直接拒绝,那样会让对方很没有面子,于是,只好把这个好友请求当做没看见,置之不理。
Inbox rot means to neither accept, nor decline a friend request from someone on social networking sites. This strategy is used in situations when you don't want to accept someone's friend request, but you also don't want to be rude by declining them.
Inbox rot指对于某人在社交网站上对你发出的加好友请求,既不接受、也不拒绝的态度。使用这种策略多半是因为,你不想接受某人的加好友请求,又不想直接拒绝对方,显得很无礼。
这里用inbox rot大概传递的意思就是,我要让你的加好友请求烂在我的收件箱里,就是不搭理你。
For example:
Dude, that guy who flirted with my girlfriend last night just sent me a friend request on Facebook. He's getting the inbox rot.
哥们儿,昨晚那个跟我女票搭讪的家伙竟然在Facebook上加我好友。我才不会理他呢。
