snubbed
Given cold shoulder
Snubbed is the past tense of snub, meaning to treat someone with deliberate coldness or dismissiveness, especially by ignoring them or rejecting their attention: She snubbed him at the party by walking right past.
Being snubbed often implies a public slight—an actor snubbed by the Academy, a diplomat snubbed at a summit.
The word can also describe something cut short or blunted: a snubbed nose, a snubbed rope.
