There must be some objectivity to it. Otherwise it could mean literally anything.
And a word that can mean anything, means nothing -
I've seen people call the weirdest things cute. I don't think there's any objectivity to it. -
Have you considered that they might just be wrong?
Besides, do they really have a different definition of cute, or do they simply think that the lable applies to something unconventional? -
So if I said that the definition is just a synonym of ugly, this would be a correct definition?
I'm not talking about people thinking that ugly things are cute, but rather that the very definition means that it looks bad. -
Again, I'm not talking about "cuteness in ugly" because that suggests that cuteness is a separate thing from ugly. I'm talking about the definition of cute being ugly. Refer to the second part of my last comment -
Yes, it could be a correct definition.
Some things such as happiness, cuteness, besuty and religion are simply very difficult or impossible to define with words 100% accurately. -
That is just plain wrong. Happiness can never mean sadness, and beautiful can never mean ugly.
Two people might have different opinions on whether something is beautiful or ugly, but that is because the application of the word is subjective, not the actual definition.
Two people don't arrive at different conclusions because one person goes "Wow! I love it! it looks so beautiful!" And the other person goes "Wow! I love it! It looks so ugly!" (Because according to you, their personal definition of ugly is used for things that are pleasing to the eye rather than repulsive)
Definitions can't just be interchanged on a whim, that's just how language works.
I don't think that this is hard concept. -
You're assuming that it can mean anything. That's wrong. You should look at it like an electronic orbital. -
No. I don't think it can mean anything. I am arguing for literally the exact opposite of that -
I worded it incorrectly, my bad.
I meant to say that you're assuming I'm saying that it could mean anything. I'm not. -
You could have just said that originally. It would have saved us a lot of trouble 😭
