The new Oxford American dictionary has chosen ‘unfriend’ as its word of the year. It means: to remove someone from your friends list.

A senior lexicographer at the Oxford American dictionary explains its “lex appeal” :

“Most “un-” prefixed words are adjectives (unacceptable, unpleasant), and there are certainly some familiar “un-” verbs (uncap, unpack), but “unfriend” is different from the norm. It assumes a verb sense of “friend” that is really not used (at least not since maybe the 17th century!)”
