Get the Overload Pointmug. A moo point or a mooed point is just a lingual bastardization of a moot point:
It was originally Joey Tribbiani (Friends) who used the phrase, it was a joke, a twist on “moot point.”
A moot point basically doesn’t matter: it’s not worth discussing because it just doesn’t apply for whatever reason.
In legal jargon, it means your argument is inapropo: it doesn’t apply & it’s not timely, so it’s actually NOT an argument because it’s inapplicable - not necessarily completely illogical; but for some reason, it doesn’t apply to the case. Sometimes the statute of limitations has run & that law no longer applies, so the point is moot, dead.
Origin (1500’s): a moot point needed group discussion and debate.
Modern use: a moot point is only up for debate in hypothetical cases, as in law school/intellectual debate.(See moot court.)
However, in our modern legal system, a moot point is considered:
-inapplicable (for whatever reason,) irrelevant
-automatically an unacceptable argument
-definitely not up for debate in the courtroom: considered a waste of the court’s time & resources
-embarrassing if relied upon, as the atty didn’t do their homework
NOT to be confused with a moot point:
“Mute” means silent. A moot point is not discussed: it’s already understood & automatically accepted legally, so it doesn’t need to be addressed. It’s a given.

Your argument is irrelevant, it’s a moo point: If a cow mooed it would mean the same thing, absolutely nothing.

Get the moo pointmug. “Aura” is being cool or respected, but when a person does something embarrassing or not to be seen in a good light, they will lose “aura points.” Therefore, “aura points” is measuring how cool and/or respected someone is and is typically referred to as a loss of said “points.” This term gained much attraction in online spaces and conversations.
Friend 1: “How many aura points did I lose when I went back with my ex after he cheated on me?”
Friend 2: “Dang that’s bad -200 points, I’d say”

Get the Aura pointsmug. Said to acknowledge someone else's explanation of something and thank them for it, with the added undertone of acknowledging that yeah now that you think about it, really that should have been obvious all along and you were being stupid for even asking the question in the first place.
An early (and possibly the first) appearance of the phrase, with this undertone, occurs in a joke in the 1992 episode "Holoship" of British sci-fi comedy TV series Red Dwarf, with the following exchange:
The Cat : Why don't we drop the defensive shields?
Kryten : A superlative suggestion, sir. With just two minor flaws. One, we don't have any defensive shields. And two, we don't have any defensive shields. Now I realise that technically speaking that's only one flaw but I thought that it was such a big one that it was worth mentioning twice.
The Cat : Good point, well made.

Bob: No, I'm away on holiday. I told you yesterday.
Alice: Good point well made.
