It’s official everyone, the OED word of the year for 2009 is….. “unfriend”.

unfriend – verb – To remove someone as a ‘friend’ on a social networking site such as Facebook.

As in, “I decided to unfriend my roommate on Facebook after we had a fight.”

Well there you go. Have a look on the OUP Blog for a bit more info, i’m not entirely sold on the word myself but then they are the experts!
