Usually I tell people I study Kuiper Belt Objects, because that name is more easily recognized by the general public. But today I have learned that I can make *Those People* cringe just by saying the more proper name.

So, I study Trans-Neptunian Objects.

@sundogplanets so earth is cis-neptunian?

or is that a slur?

@erroddy @sundogplanets
Pluto is both a trans-neptunian and (somewhat) cis-neptunian body. Triton is a proper cis-neptunian body.
