Unfriend Is Us Dictionary's 2009 Word Of The Year by donjon: 9:45am On Nov 17, 2009 |
What word sums up 2009? How about unfriend? That's the New Oxford American Dictionary 's 2009 Word of the Year. It means to remove someone as a friend on a social networking Web site such as Facebook. Each year Oxford University Press tracks how the English language is changing and chooses a word that best reflects the mood of the year. Oxford lexicographer Christine Lindberg says unfriend has "real lex appeal." Finalists for 2009 also included netbook, which is a small laptop, and sexting, which is sending sexually explicit texts and pictures by cell phone. |
