Yelnats- "I like sexting."

Why would you admit that in public? ;p

It's not newspeak, just slang.
Don't they use slang in Okinawa? They do in Tokyo, it's the same thing in America. Language is a living thing and evolves at a rapid pace. I hope unfriend doesn't face the same terrible fate that the word bootylicious did when it was nominated to be in the dictionary. I haven't heard that word in years, after it was put in the dictionary, it just died a slow death.

If youre unfriendly does that mean youve removed all your friends from facebook?

In my case yes, I require the people whom I have deleted to delete me too and to go their separate way.
