"I'm pretty sure I'm going to smack anyone I ever hear use "funemployed" in a serious manner."
I've been witness to this.
It was awful, I didn't know the word existed until I heard it in action when I found myself in a conversation w/ two previously unemployed folks who were friends of friends [put more explicitly; these folks weren't my friends]. By time I realized the meaning of what had been said (a second or two) the conversation had moved on, so my only reaction was a blank stare. But, next time (if there is one) I'll be prepared to unleash the appropriate beat down...or at lest a facial expression expressing serious disappointment.

I think I have more often seen "defriend", but Google sides with "unfriend".
I was rooting for "assclown".
A better choice than hypermiling, locavore or carbon neutral, the winners from the 3 previous years.
Nothing, but nothing, will ever stop me from saying "disenfriendicate."
wv = enope. Q: Will you ever use the word "unfriend?" A: Enope.
"unfollow" is the Twitter version of "unfriend."
They're making a statement there about the relative coolness of social media I suppose.
Ungainly as it is, they should have considered "deblogroll" as well.
Same etymology as "deplane"?
I'm pretty sure I'm going to smack anyone I ever hear use "funemployed" in a serious manner.
Makes as much sense as some of the WV stuff, to wit:
WV "tabler" One who sets up for canasta
Actually, this really is a word, probably.
Unfriend: isn't that what all friends turn into...eventually?
I'm glad I read that article you linked to or I might have used the term "obamalicious" all wrong.
According to the Urban Dictionary, it does not mean a cult of personality figure doing deliberate harm.

What the heck is locavore?
Is there a committee to remove fad words that nobody uses two months after they're not hip and trendy anymore?

Paul, exactly. Whoever coined that term knew no spanish.
"Unfriend" is not a new word. It's an old English word meaning, obviously, someone who is not a friend.
