The American Dialect society has chosen its 2006 Word of the Year. And thankfully, it has nothing to do with Web 2.0.

It’s Plutoed.

In its 17th annual words of the year vote, the American Dialect Society voted “plutoed” as the word of the year, in a run-off against climate canary. To pluto is 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.

(Don’t bother to check - Plutoed.com is already taken.)

I simply can’t wait to use that in an SEO-compliant context. Any guesses on the 2007 Word of the Year?
