Discussion about
...as coined by streeteasy for "Les Miserables" of the board. So much better than "Reveal." Of course I also prefer "unfreeze" to "defrost" - as there is no "frost" on frozen food lest it's been there for a time - but that's just me.

I like unignore. Much more positive than unfriend. My household has embraced unignore as a New Year's resolution.

didn't webster's just add "unfriend" over "defriend" for the dictionary, or something like that...

Did deplane ever make it to the dictionary? I cringe when I hear that word.
Are we so lazy for the extra syllable in disembark?

BA still says "alight".

But as for the OP topic: call it what you will, what I love most is that when you remove its hide, it's in ghostly greyed-out letters. Unhid, but still undead.

what about irregardless? does that mean: not regardless? which would be a double negative and really mean "with regard."
or what about the phrase: "maybe, maybe not"? isn't that the same thing?
