Plutoed

The American Dialect Society has chosen 'plutoed' as their Word of the Year.

In a reflection of this year's planetary reevaluation, to be 'plutoed' means "to be demoted" or "devalued."

The runner up word was 'climate canary': a species whose declining numbers are a signal of a coming environmental catastrophe.

Last year's word was the Stephen Colbert-coined "truthiness."
