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 :)

funemployed – taking advantage of one’s newly unemployed status to have fun or pursue other interests
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
paywall – a way of blocking access to a part of a website which is only available to paying subscribers

Неплохо бы ещё выделить в отдельную статью
Stimulus package (SP): massive subsidy by the Left Administration under nominal presidency of Obama, B. H.. Subsidy is directed towards electoral base of Socialists (under various names; see Democrats, Liberals, Progressive, Left) and client industries working on destroying capitalist economy. Sources for SP:
-expropriation of the productive members of society through massive taxation
-printing press by Federal Reserve
-expansion of the exterior debt to astronomical dimensions, for the parallel goal of destroying $US on World Exchange.
