Verb
unlike (third-person singular simple present unlikes, present participle unliking, simple past and past participle unliked)
- 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)
