To Pluto or not to Pluto?

” ‘Plutoed’ was chosen 2006’s Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society at its annual meeting Friday … To ‘pluto’ is ‘to demote or devalue someone or something,’ much like what happened to the former planet last year when the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union decided Pluto didn’t meet its definition of a planet.”

What a great word! Article here.
