No Words!

Oh god…I think I’m having a linguistic heart attack… It’s like a normal heart attack, only we use more vowells. Oooooooooooohhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaheeeeeeeeeeeeehh.

The New Oxford American Dictionary has declared “unfriend,” meaning “to remove someone as a ‘friend’ on a social-networking site such as Facebook,” as the word of the year. “It has both currency and potential longevity,” says Christine Lindberg, senior lexicographer for Oxford’s U.S. dictionary program. “Unfriend has real lex-appeal.” The word is unique because it assumes a verb sense of “friend” that has not been used since the 17th century.

Ironically, I don’t have any words to describe how I feel about this. I think I’m just going to go sob in the corner.
