Have any of you ever been plutoed? Do you know what it means?

I think it refers to Pluto being demoted from planetary status to a lesser status. Apparently, there are numous Pluto-sized objects in orbit around the sun, out past Neptune. INstead of calling all of them planets, they decided to remove Pluto from the list of planets.

pluto/pluto(e)s/plutoed/plutoing/plutoings, etc. is an example of the 'verbing' of a noun.

I've heard that "verbing" happens frequently in the Germanic languages... The first think I thought of when I saw "plutoed" was being "borked" :-P
