"Damn, she saw the message and didn't respond back"
"Damn niggggga, you got lefton read!!"

Left On Read
To read a massage (typically a text or on a messenger app that signals the sender when the message is seen or "read"), knowing the sender is aware that you've seen the message, and to not respond.
While the term was invented in 2016, the action was first perpetrated, pre-Internet, by Shepherd, who in on February 17, 1996, received a written message in person, and still refused to respond. If he ever responded is still unclear.
When you text, snapchat, dm, inbox, etc. someone and you wait a little for them to answer. And you see they opened or read the message and they don't answer for a while or even at all.
Guy: "Yo that girl got me left on read"... *sigh*
Guys Friend: "Damn bro move on already" lmao
