Get ready for some old-school ghosting.

In the 1920s, if your date excused herself to iron her shoelaces (“use the bathroom”), she may actually be giving you the icy (or frozen) mitt, instead. That means they left your date without a word.

No need to fret though, because we found the perfect phrase to use to laugh it off (technically from the 1910s): ish kabibble (curious babble for “what do I care?”).
