Plutoed Definition

By Andy Beard | Published: January 8, 2007

You would think that having been nominated by The American Dialect Society as the “word of the year”, official dictionary definitions would be prevalent on the internet.

So I decided to put Google to the test… oops.

Plutoed

Here is a link to the ADS results, which at this time seems to have the most precise definition of plutoed.

to pluto/be plutoed: 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.

Plutoed also has one entry in the Urban Dictionary

plutoed: to be demoted without due cause or reason

I was captain of the ship for one day, but then I was plutoed.

I will add to this list as I find more definitions.
