The honor goes to the word 'plutoed' named after the ex-planet Pluto and its downgrading from planet status. "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.
The next runner up is "climate canary" or an organism or species whose poor health or declining numbers hint at a larger environmental catastrophe on the horizon.
Other worth while mentions are:
Macaca Moment - treating an American citizen as an alien.
YouTube - a video placed on YouTube's Website for the ridicule of others.
SuriKat - referring to Katie Holme's child.
Cambodian Accessory - referring to Angelina Jolie's adoption of Cambodian children.
Waterboarding - an interrogation technique in which the subject is immobilized and doused with water to simulate drowning.
The ADS meets in Anaheim every year to elect the word of the year. They have been meeting every year since 1990.
