- To dislike.
- (Internet) To withdraw support for a particular thing, especially on social networking websites.
- 2009, Ben Zimmer, “On Language: The Age of Undoing”, in The New York Times Magazine, 2009 September 20, page MM8:
- Facebook, for instance, allows you to register approval for a posted message in a very concrete way, by clicking a thumbs-up like button. Toggling off the button results in unliking your previously liked item. Note that this is different from disliking something, since unliking simply returns you to a neutral state.
- 2010 June 25, "TheKorn" (username), "Re: Pinball: RGP and/or Facebook", in rec.games.pinball, Usenet:
- My comment was more of a backhanded slap at Stern Pinball's Facebook "presence", specifically the garbage "cheap heat" posts. […] It's so inane (and now, so constant) that I wound up "unliking" stern pinball entirely.

- 2014, Ekaterina Walter, Jessica Gioglio, The Power of Visual Storytelling (page 13)
- On Facebook, users can also hide anyone in their network, including companies, from their News Feed, which is worse than an unlike, as brands cannot measure how many people still like them but have hidden their status updates […]
