Get the Moo point mug.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.
