Oxford Word of the Year 2009: Unfriend
Оксфордский Словарь выбрал новое слово этого года - unfriend.
Первая мысль - ну и какое же оно новое :)

Из остального списка мне особенно понравилось фанэмплоид - получать удовольствие от безработицы :)

zombie bank – a financial institution whose liabilities are greater than its assets, but which continues to operate because of government support
birther – a conspiracy theorist who challenges President Obama’s birth certificate
teabagger -a person, who protests President Obama’s tax policies and stimulus package, often through local demonstrations known as “Tea Party” protests (in allusion to the Boston Tea Party of 1773)
brown state – a US state that does not have strict environmental regulations
tramp stamp – a tattoo on the lower back, usually on a woman
