"Plutoed" Voted 2006 Word of the Year
In its 17th annual words of the year vote, the American Dialect Society
voted "plutoed" as the word of the year, in a run-off against climate
canary. To pluto is to demote or devalue someone or something, as happened
to the former planet Pluto when the General Assembly of the International
Astronomical Union decided Pluto no longer met its definition of a planet.
