I learned this word in a rather unusual way. One day as a bored teenager, I was sitting around thinking of funny sounds that could pass as real words. “Moot” came into my head and, out of curiosity, I decided to look for it in a dictionary.

Needless to say, it became a new favorite. Moot. Moot. All these years, and it still sounds funny to me.
