Canceled, n.
Out of favor owing to bad behavior, usually involving extreme racism, misogyny, homophobia, anti-Semitism, sexual harassment or sexual assault, calls for violence, or vociferous support of the failed attempt to overthrow democracy. These exiles invariably wind up as guests on podcasts hosted by Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, or Steve Bannon.
