    It's prone to cause drama in the online world.

    And, according to the New Oxford American Dictionary, it's the word of the year.

    "Unfriend" beat out a tech-heavy field that included "netbook," "hashtag" and "sexting" to take the annual honor.

Very 21st century. But I've heard defriend more.
