defriend or unfriend?

[la miss]

Which term do you use to describe when you cut someone off on Facebook?:

Do you defriend them? Or do you unfriend them?

Just wondering which one is more widely used...

 

[stacmck]

I say "defriend."

 

[SPOILEDkiwi]

My friends and I use unfriend.

I just deleted my friend as a joke the other day and I told her, "I'm going to de-friend you." Unfriend just sounds odd to me.

Defriend!

 

[_bebee]

defriend

 

[Brasilian_Babe]

I actually say unfriend.

 

[trueshoelove2]

I've never heard anyone say "unfriend" lol..its always defriend

 

[TwiggyStar]

Defriend, just because it sounds similar to befriend.. which is a real word

 

[noon]

I'd say defriend but I have heard people say unfriend I think..

 

[Necromancer]

I say unfriend.
BTW, the New Oxford American Dictionary said "unfriend" was their 2009 Word of the Year.

We say "wished into the cornfield" (ala Bradbury's Sci-Fi classic 'Its A Good Life').

Defriend here for sure. I just went through my FB friends and defriended quite a few people I barely knew from college.. very cleansing!
