A couple of days ago it added a number of popular Internet slang terms to its pages. You will never what I am talking about!

Here they are, these new Oxford Dictionary words: LOL (that’s laugh out loud), BFF (best friends forever), IMHO (in my humble opinion), and OMG (oh my God). Those terms were used by millions in texts, emails and instant messages and so they deserve their own place in the OED.

However, some people claim that OED should be more thoughtful while adding such words … without history and origin.

What do you think, lol?

As it turned out the word of the year (I am talking about 2009) is …  unfriend! Can you believe it? I mean it.

The following word means – (according to the New Oxford American Dictionary’s 2009) to remove someone as a friend on a social networking Web site such as Facebook.

Due to the dictionary this world perfectly reflects the mood of the country.

Do you like the word?
