Definition

The strategic social media maneuver of deleting all evidence of your relationship right before an important event, sparing yourself the burden of public couple-dom. Named after someone who apparently perfected this art of digital relationship erasure. It's the modern equivalent of pretending you don't know someone when cooler people walk by.

Example Usage

She pulled The Sydney before her college reunion, scrubbing her Instagram clean of her boyfriend like a crime scene investigator.
