** The first time, it happens to the Duke of Cumberland, [[spoiler: who was just blamed for an AssassinationAttempt on Queen Victoria]].
** The second time, it happens to Lord Palmerston for his heavy-handed handling of the Don Pacifico affair.

** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''[='s=] expansion of the Klingons and their culture included the introduction of discommendation, in which a Klingon is ceremonially shunned and reduced to an honorless pariah in their society. In the ceremony, the Klingons present cross their arms in front of the discommendee and turn their backs on him. In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E17SinsOfTheFather Sins of the Father]]", Worf was subjected to this as a result of the charges brought against his family by the Duras family. In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E7Reunion Reunion]]", Duras crossed his arms and turned away from Worf with a sneer when Worf challenged him for the Right of Vengeance. Unfortunately for him, it turns out Worf is here for the one thing that will still let him legally challenge and kill Duras:

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/TheRiftwarCycle'': In the Empire of Great Kesh, the punishment for a traitorous noble consists of an excessively gruesome execution followed by having their name removed from every document and record, to be replaced by the phrase "one who betrayed his country".


Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'': When a hyena commits a major crime against the tribe, that hyena is cast out and their name is "eaten", making them an UnPerson. Digger meets a hyena who was cast out this way years ago, and the poor fellow can't even remember what his name ''was''.

* In the 18th and 19th Centuries, "Cutting" referred to [[https://janeaustenslondon.com/2016/06/22/cutting-and-rumping-how-to-snub-in-true-regency-style/ acts where people either deliberately ignored or pretended not to notice the rejected individual]]. Known variations included:
** The '''Cut Indirect''' was a simple aversion of eye contact or not acknowledging the other person's presence.
** The '''Cut Direct''' was deliberately turning one's back on a person and then pretending they weren't there.
** Pretending to have never met someone before is called the '''Cut Courteous'''.
** Actively going out of one's way to avoid interacting with someone is called the '''Cut Circumbendibus'''.
** The '''Cut Sublime''' (or '''Cut Celestial''') was turning one's eyes upward, while the '''Cut Infernal''' was turning one's eyes downward towards the ground (or one's shoes).
** '''[[{{Mooning}} Rumping]]''' was a particularly extreme example of both the Cut Direct and the Cut Infernal.
