The real definition of 'plutoed'
From astrobarry:
Among the innumerable inane end-of-year honors that show up in trivial headlines, this one from American Dialect Society caught my eye. Apparently, the verb 'plutoed' has been awarded its 2006 Word of the Year award. By their definition, to 'pluto' is 'to demote or devalue someone or something', an homage to by the IAU. In my book, however, a more precise definition of this planetary action-word is 'to repress awareness of difficult-to-process archetypes by deploying false labeling'. Language, by all accounts, is forever evolving.

Are you sure pluto is about labelling, I thought it was about realising that labelling is superficial
I think you're missing the point.
