hey, i'm just trying to help... word..


Pluto

1. Verb; To pluto someone or something is to downgrade, demote or remove
altogether from a prestigious group or list, like what was done to the
planet of the same name.

Conversational usage: "He was plutoed like an old pair of shoes."

2. Noun; No longer a planet. It was discovered in the 1930s and in 2006 they finally decide to change everything we learned growing up...i'm so confused now...

Conversational usage: "WTF!! Everything I learned went out the window; Pluto isn't a planet anymore!"

3. Noun; A big ball of methane and nitrogen that was big ballin' as a planet for about 80 years, until the IAU (International Astronomical Union) decided to get all technical and make that little bitch a "dwarf planet." At this point, it's a pretty safe bet that Pluto won't be getting laid anytime soon.

Conversational usage: "Pluto used to get invited to P Diddy parties back when he was part of the big 9, but now he can't even kick it with Pauly Shore. What a tool!"



4. Noun; Mickey's dog.

Conversational usage: "Come here, Pluto, ol' fella!! Minnie is ready for ya!"
