Dictionary Word of the Year: "Unfriend" - Polidicks

Hashtag sounds more cooler

Well I haven't even heard this word before now. I guess the dictionary is doing its job then.

Oh god. I don't think any of the morons going, "hurr newspeak" actually read 1984.

[QUOTE=Lazor;18432574]Oh god. I don't think any of the morons going, "hurr newspeak" actually read 1984.[/QUOTE] I'm sure some of them did, but for school

Didn't they just add "Net 2.0" or something? Yeah, English language is going to shit.

Down with English lets all learn Hindi!!

I'm just glad it's not "sexting."

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;18429102]i unfriend dictionaries now[/QUOTE] Oh it's a verb. I thought you could go to someone and go "you are my unfriend".

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;18429102]i unfriend dictionaries now[/QUOTE] I read this and agreed with it. [QUOTE=venn177;18429166]Defriend would make so much more sense. [editline]08:04PM[/editline] Un: to undo De: to remove Are you undoing your friend, or removing them?[/QUOTE] Then I read this and now I want to do more than just defriend the dictionary.

Kinda of a stupid word to put in the dictionary.

[QUOTE=Squeaken;18434891]Doublepluslate.[/QUOTE]One can never have too many 1984 references, even where they're not entirely relevant.

[quote=the epidemic;18434967]word of the year should be dargon.[/quote] :350:

[QUOTE=Spork-Juct;18429096]Shows how lazy the English language is getting.[/QUOTE] It's the natural progress of any language.

I am not comforming to this. I never called it that anyway, I actually said "I removed him from my friends list"

I like how this thread is the first time I heard this word.

I sure hope they haven't made words like "lol"and "omg" legitimate.

I just wish the new words they add sounded somewhat original. Actually I just wish people would be more original period.

It's quite an un-good decision by this organisation. [editline]06:27PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Ishmael12;18435773]:350:[/QUOTE] You really got your point across from that reply, good stuff.
