give someone the cold shoulder: o que isso significa?

One day, my friend said something awful happened to her at a store. She said she had come from the beach and as expected was dressed in very informal clothing. On her way home, she decided to go shopping for new shoes and went into a shoe store that was known for their high prices. She wanted to see if that fancy store had something that suited her the way she wanted, so she gave it no second thought before giving herself that treat.

As she approached the shop-windows, she noticed something was up. Nobody showed up to help her even though the store was full of sells clerks standing still at the corners of the store. Immediately it hit her what was going on. She wasn't dressed appropriately for the status of that store and because of that people were giving her the cold shoulder.

When you give someone the cold shoulder, you show coldness or disregard. It happens very often when men are flirting with girls that don't like them. They give them the cold shoulders and walk away. That's it for today guys. Take care!
