The History of Unfriend Day
“Unfriend”…maybe we should just start by clearing up how and when “to (un)friend” even became a verb to begin with, after hundreds of years of the word “friend” being a plain old noun you used to describe someone you had a good, close relationship with, and the word “unfriend” not even being in the realm of existence. Oxford Dictionary’s 2009 word of the year was, in fact, “unfriend”, which it defines as, “verb – To remove someone as a ‘friend’ on a social networking site such as Facebook.” Christine Lindberg, Senior Lexicographer for Oxford’s US dictionary program, explained Dictionary’s rather controversial choice, saying, “It has both currency and potential longevity. In the online social networking context, its meaning is understood, so its adoption as a modern verb form makes this an interesting choice for Word of the Year.”

Today is Spring Cleaning Day as I would like to call it. For your social media account. And its fitting the week before Thanksgiving.
Im sure we got our share of people we would love to unfriend.
☑ your friend who complains about his neighbor who parks in front of your driveway
☑ your cousin who complains about other family members
☑ you keep your "ex" and they boast about how great their new SO is.
We all got someone, and today is the DAY to do it.
