snubbing
Giving cold shoulder
Snubbing is the act of deliberately ignoring or dismissing someone, treating them as beneath notice: Her snubbing of the new employee was obvious to everyone.
The word also has a technical sense in oil drilling, where snubbing is a method of forcing pipe into a well under pressure.
To snub a rope is to check it suddenly by wrapping it around a post.
