valid
In legal contexts, "valid" often refers to documents (like passports or contracts) that are currently active and not expired. When talking about arguments or ideas, "valid" means the reasoning is strong and makes sense. It does not necessarily mean the conclusion is true, but that the logic used to get there is correct.

Still getting an error. Is my password even valid anymore?
Brian
It expired. Just stop messing around and reset it.
💡
David is using 'valid' in the sense of being officially acceptable or current. Brian uses the phrasal verb 'messing around' to express his annoyance with David's technical incompetence.
