Plutoed! The 2006 Word of the Year!

Plutoed is the 2006 Word of the Year and we are so pleased that this is where you will find it on the Internet because "plutoed" lives at www.plutoed.com!

Scott Hove (www.ScottHove.com) - author, speaker and entrepreneur - claims "bragging rights" (see "First Post" for the date) to the new Word of the Year (as many others do too).

Plutoed! Is it possible this is the "word of the year?"

Plutoed had the following post yesterday reading:

"Congratulations, "plutoed" has just been voted the official "word of the year" by the American Dialect Society!"

Is it possible?

Is there redemption?

If it is true that "plutoed" is the word of the year, then our dear former planet, Pluto, has been given a small reprieve!

We're trying to confirm this designation as word of the year; but, if so, then www.Plutoed.com is very, very pleased!

Yankees and Oakland Get Plutoed!

    Yeah, yeah, yeah to you Detroit fans.

    In late September I said that Detroit may get "plutoed" and they did by the Minnesota Twins.  However, they came roaring back and plutoed the Yankees and most recetnly the Oakland A's.

    Amazing!

    If this "plutoed" team could be resurrected to be the one doing the "plutoing" doesn't it give hope to just about everyone!

    Is there a chance that Pluto - the former planet - may some day be reinstated?

    Just 3 years ago the Detroit Tigers lost 116 games in one seaon.  This year, 2006, they are off to the World Series!

    There is hope ... even for our former planet - Pluto!

Detroit Tigers One Game Away From Being Plutoed!

    With four games remaining in the regular season, the Detroit Tigers are now one game from being "plutoed."  Will they or won't they join our friend, the former planet Pluto?

    The Minnesota Twins, who have a better record (as of today), than any National League baseball team are only one game in back of the Tigers.  Both the Minnesota Twins and the Detroit Tigers play their remaining schedule at their home parks.

    To be plutoed or not to be plutoed.  That is the question.  At least for Tiger fans.

    The next few days will tell!

    Stay tuned!

Plutoed Press Release

New Word Proposed to Honor the Former Planet Pluto

A Las Vegas based speaker and author has coined a new word to honor the former planet Pluto.

Las Vegas, NV, August 26, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- A Las Vegas speaker and author has coined a new word on the day following the International Astronomical Union’s meeting in Prague where 2,500 scientists voted to adopt guidelines that demoted Pluto to secondary status.   

“Everyone during their life has felt disappointed, dismissed or demoted,” says Scott Hove, “now we can say that they feel ‘plutoed!’”

“How many times do we feel like we have had a bad day?  Imagine if Pluto had feelings what would be going through her head right now?” Hove went on to say.  Since 1930 when American Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto, it has been the ninth planet in our solar system.  Due to the IAU decision; textbooks, websites and other reference materials will have to make changes to their planet lists.

Hove admits he is having a bit of fun at Pluto’s expense but claims we can also use the planet’s demotion as an inspirational lesson. 

“I’ve felt ‘plutoed’ a lot life.  What I’ve learned, however, is that every problem is an opportunity waiting to happen.  When we have been ‘plutoed’ we have a chance to turn a negative into a positive,” Hove concluded.

Whether Hove’s new word makes it into everyday use remains to be seen but he has also set up a blog to promote his new word.  Appropriately it is located at: www.Plutoed.com

Joe Lieberman Got Plutoed!

Senator Joe Lieberman got plutoed by the voters in the Democratic party in Connecticut.

Joe was seen as being too close to President Bush and too much of a supporter of the war in Iraq and was promptly plutoed by his own party.

The "plutoing" continues in Washington, DC where many of his colleagues in the U. S. Senate have literally turned their backs on him for deciding to now run as an independent.

Time will tell if Joe wins his Senate seat again but for now he is one of the more powerful people to be plutoed!

Will the Detroit Tigers be "plutoed?"

It's possible that we are watching a professional baseball team get "plutoed" before our very eyes!

The Detroit Tigers had a commanding lead in the American League Central Division but now their lead has nearly vanished!  Imagine if they are overtaken by the Minnesota Twins or the Chicago White Sox after seeming invincible just a few months, even weeks, ago.

Maybe it's fate that in the year that our friend the former planet Pluto was demoted that the Tigers are self-demoting!

Tiger fans unite - don't let your team that once was giving you hope get plutoed!

Plutoed! In the Beginning...

You’ve probably heard by now that Pluto is no longer a planet.

The International Astronomical Union meeting in Prague voted to adopt guidelines that demoted the distant planet to secondary status.

What a bummer!

Talk about a bad day!  You wake up in the morning and you’re a planet and later that day you’re not!

These 2500 or so scientists decided that Pluto just didn’t measure up like the other planets making it obvious that size does matter as has been argued in other quarters since the beginning of time.

Clyde Tombaugh’s 1930 discovery obviously still stands but Pluto has now been officially deemed a “dwarf planet.”  Not nearly the honor it held before the day began.

I am proposing that in honor of Pluto a new word be added to our vocubulary:  “Plutoed”

Definition:  1) To be bitterly disappointed, demoted, dishonored and/or shocked. 2) To suffer loss of status.

So from now on, when you have experience a disappointment, demotion or loss of status you will have a bit of a feeling for what’s going on in Pluto’s mind tonight.  You, too, will have been “Plutoed!”

At this blog, share with us how you have been "plutoed."  We'll be posting thoughts and ideas that may lead you to share something with our readers too.  You can do so, obviously, in the comments section.
