"Plutoed"? "Truthiness?" They say society "picks" out these words, but I haven't even heard of them! ...I still say "murse" should've won... One year, I hope that "voken" gets picked. I mean, it's just such a voken word^^ One day...

'Plutoed' makes me smile. I'm totally going to try to use it in normal conversation now. Not that I have normal conversations...

Yeah, I heard this on the radio, I thought it was interesting. I'll try to use the word eveyr once in a while, but I don't know if it'll stick to my speech or not.

No, but I DID hear about the guy for the first time a couple weeks ago on this awards show thing that happened to be on TV. It's probably a show on some American channel I don't get, but what would I know? I like, never watch TV anymore, anyhow.

Hahaha, that's awesome. I can see a disgruntled and laid-off employee coming home from work..."You'll never believe what happened to me today! I got PLUTOED!!" XDD
That's great. XD

The article makes it clear why.
Pluto is not considered a planet any more, so it was metaphorically "demoted".Unwise Toasting Sermon

The other Sailor Senshis felt sorry for Sailor Pluto for having to get plutoed and sent back to Senshi training school.
Note usage of pluto twice,once as proper name(Sailor Pluto)and once as a verb
(plutoed)what other anime character can be plutoed like that?
