You raise some interesting questions. All the noun/verb-thing in English is not my strongest side though, but I trust what you’re saying

So if “unfriend” is now a verb I wonder when “friend” became a verb. Previously “friend” was only a noun as in “being a friend” or “helping a friend”.

Plus don’t you have to “friend” someone before you can “unfriend” them? Or does any of this really matter anyway

I’d say pathetic more then amazing, unless it was meant sarcastically. A sad state of today’s affairs when this crap is justified as mainstream….I mean, dictionaries?!?!?!

You’re right – I wonder how many older people even know what “tweet” and “hashtag” is? Would be an interesting study.

By the way – I kindly ask my commenters not to use keywords as their name, I prefer to have a real name, so I removed your link as I don’t think your name is “Diabetis”

I wouldn’t mind offering you dofollow links on the CommentLuv link though.

Yeah me too George, a site like “urban dictonary” pops up quite often when I search for those “new age” words.

Hehe, that’s true. But we lack a really important one: “undo”. Once it’s out there, you’re gonna have trouble taking it back…. (like “cisco fatty”)

I wouldn’t be surprised if “tweet” was already on the list, since it was not being considered for this years list.

Hi Chandan. But what if you don’t know them, then they’re not your “friend” just from the very first moment you “connect”, right?

Hi Avery – thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I don’t know if I’ve been un-friended, to be honest. I don’t get notified about it And I don’t really care, if I’m not good enough for them, they are probably not good enough for me either.

I hope you will be able to deal with your Facebook “foes” chatting you up all the time
