i see younger people using it as an animate noun .... "he's such a mood" .... these days. i dont think its a typo. — Soap — 18:02, 26 September 2020 (UTC)


 * It seems to amount to saying that the person is (exemplifying) a relatable feeling, and so I think it is the same basic sense as the one I added a few days earlier about shoes, feelings, etc being a mood, but it's tricky to define in a way that feels comprehensive and substitutable. (See also big mood, which should possibly be merged into this.) - -sche (discuss) 18:36, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I hadnt thought of that. Itd be a bit awkward of me to ask, so I'll defer to you and anyone else who might have a better handle on it than i do. Thanks. — Soap — 02:09, 2 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Also an interjection, in Internet slang. People see something relatable and say "mood!". Equinox ◑ 00:37, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

RFV discussion: September 2020–May 2022
RFV-sense "(obsolete, Northern England and Scotland) Courage, heart, valor; also vim and vigor."

This [the phrase with main and mood] currently exists in the usage notes of mood and a non-English quotation under its last sense-line. If this phrase is attested, it should have its own entry; if it's not attested three times, it's not worth a usage note IMO, we can just put any cites that do exist under that last sense-line. - -sche (discuss) 08:57, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * @-sche Would it make sense to send this to RFV, then? - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 02:20, 22 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'll move it over now. - -sche (discuss) 03:22, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * OED has "2. a. Fierce courage; spirit, vigour. Also: pride, arrogance. Obsolete." with the only post-1500 evidence being two quotes we'd describe as (Middle) Scots, both spelt, and a quote from 1579 that they enclose in square brackets for reasons unclear to me. This, that and the other (talk) 02:42, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * As for "main and mood", OED has one post-1500 cite (again Middle Scots, again spelt ) specifically for this phrase. This, that and the other (talk) 08:41, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

RFV-failed. Moved to Middle English. Kiwima (talk) 23:12, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
