Facebook Love -- and Lack Thereof

Today's word is: "Facebookbreakup"
IPA Pronunciation: /feɪs/bʊk/breɪk/ʌp/
Part of speech: Verb
Definition: To change one's relationship status within the Facebook web interface, thereby severing a relationship without any in-person interaction. Changing one's own relationship status automatically changes the other person's status as well, thus exposing the often heart-breaking and humiliating break-up for the entire virtual world (or at least your hundreds of shared friends) to see.
Used in a sentence: "I facebookbrokeup with him/her, so we won't be getting together on Valentine's Day." "I can't believe s/he facebookbrokeup with you! What a chicken!"

    Yup... although different kids prompted the different posts!

    Ah, won't the socialogists in the coming centuries have fun trying to understand these behavior patterns?
    I resist joining FB because of the fear of rejection.

    I love my facebook account. I find out about my step-daughter's breakups before she has a chance NOT to tell me about them! LOL
