Send to Coventry

(重定向自Sent to Coventry)

To send someone to Coventry is an English idiom meaning to deliberately ostracise someone. Typically, this is done by not talking to them, avoiding someone's company, and generally pretending that they no longer exist. Victims are treated as though they are completely invisible and inaudible. The Coventry referred to in the phrase is a cathedral city in the West Midlands, and historically part of Warwickshire.
