Stop, don't do that, no Urban Dictionary

When you allow someone, you break all contact. No more emails, txts, phone calls etc. It's appropriate for an ex., someone you're not friends with any more or just anybody who you aren't going to correspond with any more. When the act of allowance is performed, then that person shall become "allowed". At that point you never reply to any messages they send or return any calls. If you go as far as deleting them from your contact list, address book etc. then they shall be known as truly allowed. You can allow a person, an object or an event. Urban Dictionary
