To reverse or negate one s previous liking of something. Unlike is, in that sense, the reciprocal of like. It does not mean dislike. It is a word specifically reserved for negation of one s previous liking of something. It is not preemptive, thus a thing cannot be unliked before it has been liked. In order to be unliked, a thing must be currently liked, regardless of whether or not it has ever been liked or unliked in the past. www.urbandictionary.com unlike = like un+like 2 Friend and unfriend 2.1 When you friend a user on a social networking website, you add that person to your list of online friends.

[1] For example, the noun green in golf (referring to a putting-green) is derived ultimately from the adjective green. Conversions from adjectives to nouns and vice versa are both very common and unnotable in English; much more remarked upon is the creation of a verb by converting a noun or other word (e.g., the adjective clean becomes the verb to clean).
