Actually, what we have here is right out of the wonderful world of Disney.
We have Pluto and the dwarfs (as in from Snow White). Based on a lot of
the
feedback from todays vote, the IAU is "Goofy" for making a "Mickey Mouse"
definition of planets.

Dwarf IS the PC term now. "Midget" planet would have been a problem.
Other

Play An
Ewok" planet.
