Word of the Day: Plutoed

How often does that happen…I just finish writing a post and something else comes up to support it.

I just wrote a piece about pseudo-words and up on the BBC pops a news article stating:

“Plutoed” has been chosen as word of the year for 2006 by the American Dialect Society, beating “climate canary” in a run-off vote.

If you have been “plutoed” you have been demoted or devalued, just as happened to the former planet Pluto when its status was downgraded.
