Definition

To brush someone off or dismiss them with the finality of a snow shovel clearing a driveway. It's the verbal equivalent of a hand wave that says 'go away' but with more blue-collar energy.

Example Usage

When my ex tried to talk to me at the party, I just shoveled him off and went back to my friends.
