When you start typing a reply, then change your mind halfway through and delete it.
Started on an internet forum by a member called withnail. He asked if anyone had ever started typing a reply then given up halfway through.
The answer was yes.
And such the term "withnailed" was coined and has spread since.
Troll on a forum, starts a game console war.
You've typed up reply and are just about to hit the submit button, then you think "fcuk it" and delete and simply replying with "Withnailed".
