NEW YORK - What word sums up 2009? How about unfriend?

That's the New Oxford American Dictionary's 2009 Word of the Year. It means to remove someone as a friend on a social networking Web site such as Facebook.

Each year Oxford University Press tracks how the English language is changing and chooses a word that best reflects the mood of the year.

Oxford lexicographer Christine Lindberg says unfriend has "real lex appeal."

Finalists for 2009 also included netbook, which is a small laptop, and sexting, which is sending sexually explicit texts and pictures by cell phone.




Unfriend? Even 'lamo' isn't as lame as 'unfriend'.

Can you come up with a better word that could be the next "New Word of the Year"?

Used to be, there was a time when you wanted to unfriend someone, you just shot 'em in the face with a 12-gauge. Damned political correctness.

BOSTON - Which ZuG user is 2009's answer to Aussie Sarah? How about Dasypygal?

She's the new ZuG 2009 Aussie Sarah of the Year. That means she removes the funny with every thread started and every Shakespearety post on a comedy web site such as ZuG.

Each year an elderly curmudgeon tracks how ZuG is changing and chooses a user who best reflects the assininity that was the original Aussie Sarah.

ZuG douchicographer James A. McNeill says Dasypygal has "no appeal."

Finalists for 2009 also included Alarm Clock, who is a racist moron, and Rock Lobster, who dates him.

Geez Whistler,

I don't know who Aussie Sarah is, but I get the feeling that I'm not the only one in peri-menopause. I know that the mood swings are awful; and it is not uncommon for someone experiencing hormonal changes to take out their frustrations on the ones they love.

I had just finished a video, dedicated/blamed on you. I've popped my blister and taped it... as you recommended.

But like a faithful dog that gets beaten by the Master they admire, I'll continue to lick your hand and only hope that you guide, train, and feed me. And on good days, when I don't soil your manicured lawn, pet me.

Until then, I'm gonna piss on your rug and chew up your shoes and underwear!

I might agree with 'moron' at times, but racist? Aren't you dating outside of your species?

I mean mechanics vs. crustaceans. It's obvious to me!

Zug's Tip o' the Day:

The awkward pause at the end of your post is not an invitation to keep going.

I've been married for 24 years - I don't fall for false promises of kinky sex.

You know, "The Aussie Sarah Award" wouldn't be a bad idea for a trophy. Requirements: A Zugs to posts ratio of under 1 (min 50 posts)

My wife still loves the sex. It's just the kinky stuff that she's given up on. Unless you consider Frost-ing a guy whose balls are covered with silver fur kinky.


Any way, you take me all wrong, my hairy-assed lady. I loved Aussie Sarah. I mean, lots of girls gave lip service to supporting the troops. Sarah travelled halfway around the globe and left an ogre behind to Frost boil a rabbit owned by suck stalk get split in half by show her support for our troops.
