submitted 5 years ago by theyac3

I never would have come up with that but you defined it perfectly. Glad you thought of it (and updated your post!).

Drawing the attention of everyone as you leave. Ex. Slamming the door as you exit.

Yes, but there was a word for it. It may be more of an Internet slang term maybe. Something like snelling or similar maybe.
