'Unfriend' named Word of the Year
|
|
What word sums up 2009? How about unfriend? That's the New Oxford American Dictionary's 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. Finalists for 2009 also included netbook, which is a small laptop, and sexting, which is sending sexually explicit texts and pictures by cell phone. (AP)
