She tabled the discussion of a 'moot point'
If a suggestion was mooted, what happened to it? What about if it’s tabled? These are contronyms – words with opposite meanings – in American and British English, and spread confusion wherever they travel.
In the United States, we most often use as an adjective,. Such a point is “deprived of practical significance, made abstract or purely academic,” according to Merriam-Webster. If you have a Ph.D. in the humanities and want to teach at the university level, you have to go where you get a job – where you’d like to live is a moot point. In Britain, though, means “open to question, debatable.” If your spouse says that the question of whether to move to London is “moot,” you’ll need to talk about it, unless he or she is American, in which case you don’t.
