Because it's srs bzns when someone unfriends you.

Yippie. I've been told recently that this is not a word.

[Dysnomia]

[Rumckle]

At least it's better than that word "huggles"

[President Television]

Is it just me, or is the English language gradually sliding towards Newspeak?

[Rumckle]

I think it is heading in the opposite direction.

From the link:

death panel – a theoretical body that determines which patients deserve to live, when care is rationed

I think it is heading in the opposite direction.

Would that be towards Unspeak?

[Rumckle]

Yeah, in a nutshell.

I don't think this is a new low for the OED word of the year.

[Kai]

I want to stab the unfunny quibbling pedants who claim its not a REAL word if it's not in the OED. Right in their fucking face.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

What about the quibbling unfunny pedants who claim that it's not a real word regardless of whether or not it's in the OED?
