"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.

Yes,'plutoed'...
Much like the IAU themselves; in the minds of people- across the entire face of the planet!, after coming to that conclusion.
Should probably be in the "Jokes" thread, but here it is anyway:
When Mother Teresa died and went to heaven, God greeted her at the Pearly Gates. "Be thou hungry, Mother Teresa?" asked God. "I could eat," she replied. So, God opened a can of tuna, unwrapped a loaf of rye bread, and they began to share it. While eating the humble tuna sandwich, Mother Teresa looked down into Hell and saw the inhabitants devouring huge steaks, lobsters, pheasant and pastries. Curious, but deeply trusting, she remained quiet.
The next day, God invited her to join him for a meal. Again, it was tuna and rye bread. Once again, Mother Teresa could see the denizens of Hell enjoying lamb, turkey and apple pie. Still, she said nothing.
The following day, mealtime arrived and another can of tuna was opened. She couldn't contain herself any longer. Meekly, she asked, "God, I am grateful to be in heaven with you as a reward for the pious, obedient life I led. But here in heaven, all I get is tuna and a piece of rye bread, and in the other place they eat like emperors and kings! I just don't understand it."
God sighed: "Let's be honest, Teresa. For two people, it just doesn't pay to cook."
#9 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
#8 Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.
#7 Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to use
the Internet, and he won’t bother you for weeks.
#6 Some people are like a Slinky ….. not really good for anything, but
you still can’t help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.
#5 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying
of nothing.
#4 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to
criticism.
#3 Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a
substantial tax cut save you thirty cents?
#2 In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is
weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
AND THE #1 THOUGHT FOR 2007:
We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the
millions and millions of cows in America , but we haven’t got a clue as
to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.
Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of
immigration.
