Spanning

[Gregory]

The [fine art]/act of stalking, scrutinizing and mentally/physically tormenting a person as if they were your girlfriend or boyfriend. This is usually because the person who is doing the spanning is arrogant, a [pompous windbag] or they feel like they are owed. They have feelings for the person they [span] and have decided that person belongs to them without the consent, permission, reciprocation of same feelings or even the knowledge of the victim they span. The art/act of spanning is often conducted in front of friends or others in an effort to embarrass and belittle the person they span into acting the way they desire.
