defriend

A newly-established term stemming from the internet social network crowd, meaning to remove someone from a list of friends. The term is misleading because usually neither of you were friends to begin with. "Defriending" is essentially a way of cutting off already useless communication with cyber-people.
Typical Person: "I had to totally defriend Margaret Mary. I don't want that slut looking at my profile anymore."

Sarcastic Person: "Sounds like the breakup was hard on everyone."

Defriending frenzy

In social networks, a defriending frenzy is a situation where an oversupply of friends leads to rapid, out-of-control deletion by the account owner. This situation often results in the accidental deletion of real friends, leading to refriending requests.

Dave: Sorry dude, I went into a defriending frenzy last night and accidentally deleted you
