Ceres is definitely dwarfish, but pluto is just smallish, more
plutoish.

Both planets nevertheless. Lane clearing my ass.

Sir, After all this time it seems that Pluto was only a Mickey Mouse Planet.

A rapier wit, to be sure.
Best laugh I've had in the last four hours.

A planet should be defined based on what it is not where it is.

Neptune's moon Triton is often called Pluto's twin. It's a captured
KBO very similar to Pluto, just a little bigger. Is it a planet?

If you can set down a lander, mine there, refuel maybe, stockpile,
warehouse, repair, habitate, then it's good enough for me. You girls can
have your hissyfits, but you are far too stupid to ever get out of Earth's
gravity so it means nothing but words to you.

Grow some brains and maybe you might get out there during this lifetime,
when knowing what's in the neighborhood and how far away is it is much
more important than the hens clacking down on Earth.
