Answer:

Arbitrary

Explanation:

The exchange merely serves as a reminder that language is arbitrary. It is subjective and not objective in nature.

  • One version of analogy is not binding.
  • Nathan must have had his own version of the interpretation of the phrase "cool cat" for him to object the perceived view point of his grandfather.
