cancelled
No longer happening
Cancelled is the past tense and past participle of cancel, meaning to call off, revoke, or annul something previously planned or agreed upon: The flight was cancelled due to weather.
British English strongly prefers this double-l spelling, while American English typically uses canceled, though both are acceptable in either dialect.
In contemporary slang, cancelled describes someone who has been publicly rejected or boycotted, usually for offensive behavior: He got cancelled after those tweets surfaced.
