Have we plutoed Filipino?
Last January 5, the American Dialect Society (ADS) voted "plutoed" as the word of the year. To pluto means to demote or devalue someone or something, as was experienced by the former planet Pluto when it was reclassified as a "dwarf planet" in August.
The full list of nominations can be found here. Other words nominated by the members of the group included:
lancing - the forced public outing of a closeted gay celebrity;
lactard - a person suffering from lactose intolerance; and
flog - an advertising site disguised as a blog.
Last year, the ADS (which was founded in 1889) voted "truthiness" for 2005. For the year before that, it was "red state, blue state, purple state". Other past winners are commonly used today: metrosexual, weapons of mass destruction, and "not!" (the expression).

Exponential notation of Filipino words. Ek!
I wonder if there's a site where the latest gayspeak words are stored. Curious.
