icing out
Deliberate social exclusion
Icing out means excluding or ignoring someone deliberately, giving them the cold shoulder: After the argument, she started icing me out completely.
The metaphor suggests freezing someone out of social warmth or connection.
In a separate sense from hip-hop culture, icing out means covering jewelry or accessories with diamonds or crystals: He's icing out his watch with VVS diamonds.
