canceln

to cancel; to publicly boycott/shun someone (anglicism, often loaded)

Origin

Anglicism from English 'to cancel' (to call off, to scrap). In youth and internet language it means above all to publicly shun and socially exclude a person after controversial statements or actions - in the context of 'cancel culture'. Besides that, 'canceln' also has the plainer meanings of 'to call something off' (e.g. a flight) or to stop a running program.
