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 Deng mug.A political or religious fanatic who rarely uses critical thinking when coming to any conclusion related to their own biases and belief systems. They regularly justify their behavior and beliefs without rational explanation while using slander, lies, manipulation, and other forms of subversive behavior against others who don’t think, believe, or act as they do.
The Koo-koo-moo’s showed up to the council meeting and disrupted the entire meeting by being loud, aggressive, and boisterous in an effort to get their own way.
