I was inspired to write this definition because my friend Lori @loripop326 on Twitter had written a blog about being de-friended and complained that she didn’t like that word or care what the right word was or could be, so I thought I would sort the problem out and hopefully in the process ensure that she did care what the ‘proper word’ was for e-moving someone : )

She also gave me the kick up the proverbial back side to sort my blog out – thanks Lori ; )
