I like the OED quotation from Thomas Fuller: “I hope, Sir, that we are not mutually Unfriended by this Difference which hath happened betwixt us.”
For my part, another “un-” word is far more deserving of special recognition: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
And who could forget Gunnery Sergeant Hartman exhorting a hapless recruit: “You had best unfuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!”
