to show the cold shoulder
Used figuratively, chiefly in the phrase to show the cold shoulder, explained in the Glossary to the Antiquary as ‘To appear cold and reserved’; now also to give the cold shoulder: to display intentional and marked coldness, or studied indifference. A ‘cold shoulder of mutton’ as a dish has suggested many puns and allusive uses.
