As reported on the BBC News Online website

"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.
