Even in English, there are some abstract words such as "cool" What does it mean when you call someone "He's cool!"? As far as Moe or Cool is a slang, it would be hard to difine it precisely. Therefore, this discussion must be nonsense...
>>135 lol :p I rather think that this movement is to newly 'define' the meaning of Moe. So, for this point of view, that is not necessarily a nonsence. Actually, Moe is a NEW slang and some are not sure about what that means. Therefore, we could also think this place is to 'make up' what it means.
But, due to the first speak, the definition of that is already there, means 'given by a dictionary', then your opinion can be true.
And also, both Moe and Cool are abstract word, but Cool is so common slang, contraly to Moe, which is not so common. Then I think some come up with a question 'what does it mean generally?'.
The word 'generally' is important. we may not be able to discuss precisely, but we can do generally.
Cool might be popular now, but was not in the past.
As seen in the movie, "Back to the Future", Dr. Brown was confused with the use of Marty's slang; Cool and Heavy, which was not popular in 1955. Probably it is not yet defined precisely after fifty years, today.
(As you know,) language is developing every day because of its needs or perhaps because of the influence of pop culture.
Tunami has become a popular word because a huge tidal wave attacted many coasts last year. Slangs are reflecting pop culture, so probably it is not very useful to define each new word.
Speaking generally is indeed interesting, but "I" do not approve of defining each slang, except for fun.
