Unfriended
Desktop horror film
Unfriended means removed from a social media friends list, or more broadly, cut off from a relationship.
The term emerged with Facebook and similar platforms where connections require mutual acceptance: She unfriended her ex after the breakup, I noticed he'd unfriended me.
The word captures how digital relationships can be severed with a single click—a distinctly modern form of social rejection.
