UNFRIEND is a verb which was coined by the worldwide users of Facebook. It means 'to remove a person from your friend-list on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter etc'. Some people argue that the correct term should be DEFRIEND. Anyway, the term has already made its way into some of the well-known English dictionaries in the world!
