Dislike!

LOL. LMAO. GG. The number of new phrases born on the Internet are growing and it seems like people are even using them in "real life". One word that has caught on is "dislike". On Dictionary.com, the definition for "dislike" is: "to regard with displeasure, antipathy, or aversion." In other words, not like. Why has this word become so popular? Facebook, of course. One of the many functions of the popular social networking site is that you can "like" other people's posts, statuses, pictures, etc. This inevitably led to people creating groups campaigning for a "dislike" button, which would basically allow a person to disdain or dismiss other people's stuff. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT? I can see why Facebook has turned down the notion so many times. Are we really that evil and corrupt? That we would want to give thumbs down to other people. That's pretty jerk, in my opinion.
P.S. Jerk is my new adjective. Spread it around! LOL. TTYL. BB.
