2009 Word Of The Year: "Unfriend"


Language is a "living" thing. It evolves with the culture that uses it. Based on this premise, it should be little surprise that the New Oxford American Dictionary turned to social networking websites and made 'unfriend' its 'Word of the Year.'

If you read Orwell's 1984, you might think that the selection of unfriend was ungood or double plus ungood.
