Facebook did not 'unfriend'!

The popular belief (and blame) that Facebook along with other social media platforms brought in words that weren't English-English need not be true. Folks believe that 'unfriend' was not a proper English expression before Facebook gave you the power to unfriend. Well, that's just not true. 'Unfriend' meant an enemy and has been in use since the 13th century!
