Acceptable, understandable, fine — 'that's valid' — the internet's way of agreeing without agreeing, borrowed from therapy and applied to opinions about pizza. The most non-committal affirmation the record holds.
Personal note for the archive: I have used Valid unironically at least twice this week. Reporting this honestly because the record depends on people admitting it.
'Valid' as the entire response to a friend announcing a divorce, a promotion and a new dog in one message. The record considers this efficient and possibly correct.
For the record: Valid is not a joke, it is a shorthand. The joke is what happens when someone outside the group tries to use it as one.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
