Plutoed

This was?reported “word of the year” in a?monthly Ezine I subscribe to.? It is a very cool word indeed.? The passage about it is linked below:

“PLUTOED” has been chosen the 2006 Word of the Year by the American
Dialect Society at its annual meeting. “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 did not meet its definition of a
planet.”
