CNN) -- Pluto may no longer be a planet, but it has a new claim to fame: "Plutoed" has been chosen 2006 Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society.

The society defined "to pluto" as "to demote or devalue someone or something, as happened to the former planet Pluto when the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union decided Pluto no longer met its definition of a planet."

Pluto has revenge on the IAU! Take its status away and a new word got created.

I think I'm going to use this word for now on :D

Hail Pluto! :D

Why make a word that means the same thing as existing words?

Plutoed? How is it the word of the year when I have never heard it before.

Pluto never should have been a planet.

Anyway, *begins using word*

You just start using them and hope they catch on. Nothing is quite as hephoflibberamental as hearing your own inconjurabiutable returned to you in discordiation.
