My son and I had an interesting conversation over the weekend. We had always wanted to try venison steaks cooked over an open fire, and we finally got around to it. It's just good to know how to thrive if things go seriously sideways. Anyway, during the cookout, he misused the word heat, and I corrected with term thermal energy.
He correctly pointed out that there are several words in the English language that are spelled the same, pronounced the same, but have very different meanings. His basic statement was this;
"As long as I define my terms, I can use the word "heat" any way I want. Heat is any meat cut from the femur bone of a whitetail deer. This heat is delicious."
Correct or incorrect? I don't know!
PS The steaks were incredible, cooked on a marsh mellow roasting rod over dried cherry wood and seasoned with only salt and pepper.

It is incorrect. The term 'heat' is defined by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It is the flow of thermal energy, not the thermal energy itself.
Heat has no temperature. It is not a cut of meat.
Why does your friend insist on redefining this word?
It is correct to say the fire heats the meat, cooking it. Heat uses the units watts (joules per second) or BTU (a larger unit based again on joules per second). Heat is like current in a river. It is the flow, not the water itself. Heat is not energy. It is the flow of energy.

The conversation initiated with the word "heat". I know I was correct in calling him on improper use of the term, but then the conversation turned more towards a question of defining terms.
His point was that as long as he defined his terms up front, a legitimate conversation can go forward. He also argued that he could do something as ridiculous as defining a tire as a "nutritious fruit that grows on a tree in the Midwest", and a legit conversation about eating tires could go forward.
You've said it many times that a dictionary and textbooks don't define words. So what is the problem with him defining words?
So the question is not so much about heat specifically. It's about an individual defining terms for discussion. I don't even know what category this question would fit into... logic? Philosophy?

They are no longer the English language. This is the problem that leftists often run into when trying to redefine words (and even theories of science, and even terms in mathematics!) during their word games (which they of course blame on someone else for!).
Each word has a history. To ignore that history is to ignore the language that word is a part of.

Some words are defined using philosophy. Words like 'real', 'science', and 'religion' are defined in this way. Even the word 'mathematics' and 'logic' are defined in this way. The branch of philosophy that attempts to define the word 'real' is called phenomenology. This branch discusses arguments relating to how we perceive the world through our senses and what that means. An example of this kind of thinking was most recently brought forward in the Matrix series in the movies.
Morpheus presents the question in it's most basic form: "What IS 'real'? How do you DEFINE 'real'? He then poses the line of thinking of phenomenology. He discusses how the senses we use MUST be interpreted by ourselves into what we consider 'real'. In other words, 'real' is just our own interpretation of our own senses. That interpretation is based on how we each figure the Universe is supposed to work.
As a result, 'real' is as unique to each of us as a fingerprint. There is no absolute 'real', not even when Morpheus welcomes Neo to the 'real world'.
The term 'heat' is defined by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It is also given it's direction of flow here. Indeed, the direction of time can be defined here as well. Energy always dissipates from concentrated form (a low entropy, or in other words a high potential for use of energy) across the given system until it's achieves it's final, fully random and uniform state (zero potential for the use of energy). In other words, e(t+1) >= e(t), where 'e' is entropy, and 't' is time. Entropy MUST always increase or stay the same in any given system.
To call anything else 'heat' is a departure from the 2nd law of thermodynamics and all of it's ramifications. This IS how 'heat' is define. To ignore that means to ignore the 2nd law of thermodynamics with it.
Words are not defined by dictionaries. They are defined by people, but that definition has a base of some sort. It's not just willy-nilly. To treat any word thus is to deny all of it's history and even the language itself.
The study of the origins of words and phrases is called 'eytomology'...a rather fascinating aspect of history.

Alternative scenario:
You and your son have already finished cooking the controversial substance and are eating it.
You are joined by someone else who asks:
"What's for dinner?"
One or both of you answers, "venison!"
"It's delicious! Do you want some?"
BIG MISTAKE!
"There is NO SUCH THING as VENISON!"
"Venison is just a meaningless buzzword!"
Who has the authority to decree whether or not "venison" means ANYTHING?
You are not allowed to consult a dictionary.
And you'll never get to talk about the food you are eating.
Not until you provide an acceptable unambiguous definition for "venison" that does not violate the revised laws of meat inspection.
Which cannot be found in any book or other citable source.
You have to rely on the omniscience of the WORD MASTER.
If the WORD MASTER says that there is no such thing as venison, then, damn it.. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS VENISON.
The infallible decree cannot be challenged.
The discussion about dinner cannot get out of the starting gate.

Now I get to play devil's advocate.
Twice you mentioned the history of the word must be considered. I went back as far in history as I could to find a blatant misuse of the word "heat".
Genesis 8:22 ESV
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease."
Is this a translation error? I don't see this as a translation error because it is clearly talking about the opposite of cold.

If you think I've only got one or two critters in the freezers....well...you'd be very wrong. I'm eating venison, wild turkey, pheasant, walleye and pike 4-5 days a week, and the venison is best after 1 year in the freezer. You estimate the math.

With the infallible authority of science by decree.

There are several translation errors in the Bible, including the use of the word 'day', as in a 24-hour period. In Hebrew, 'yom' was mistranslated into 'day'. It is better translated as 'a period'. In Hebrew the use of 'yom' represents a day, a month, a year, or any length of time as a single period.
Despite these translation errors, the basic message of the Bible remains the same, and it's purpose remains the same: to provide evidence of a witness of God, Jesus Christ, and the Gospel.

Deer are stupid. They wander out into the road, and when they see a car coming, try to run from it, but they can't see behind them, causing them to turn their head, which causes them to turn direction, then they turn away weave the opposite way, and often wind up just jumping in front of the car...and THAT's if they run! (Sometimes they just stand there bewildered).
Deer is the deadliest wild animal there is. They have killed or maimed more people than any other wild animal.
At least they're good eating.

I've said the same things for years but more along the lines of "looks better on my dinner plate than dead and wasted on the local highway".

Yes they are, but also incredibly smart (mainly due to their keen senses). One day they can't be killed and the next day I'm asking that deer how it is possible he's still alive.

Exactly! I see it every day as I live in a river valley with great habitat. On one occasion I counted over 150 on the last 1.5 miles to home. My favorite is when they cross the road with hooves in the shoulder, then realize you are closing in and might be a threat. At this point they spin 180 and cross the entire road again back to "safety". This is how a large percentage get hit because the motorist times the "passing" of the deer thinking it will continue on into the ditch...until it doesn't.

My son and his girlfriend are taking a vacation to Yellowstone in June. My wife is all worried about bears and mountain lions. The deer on the way there worry me more.

One of God's best gifts to this man anyway. It took a couple years to transition my taste, but now I much prefer venison steak over beef steak.

That's no longer an issue. Sven Issen clarified this in his scientific research culminating in a scientific study that scientifically proved that deer meat is scientifically better than any other. It's scientific at this point so don't bother with all the science deniers pushing their Vegan Justice crap.

Better in your freezer than embedded in the bumper of a car.
I've said the same things for years but more along the lines of "looks better on my dinner plate than dead and wasted on the local highway".

Yes they are, but also incredibly smart (mainly due to their keen senses). One day they can't be killed and the next day I'm asking that deer how it is possible he's still alive.

They wander out into the road, and when they see a car coming, try to run from it, but they can't see behind them, causing them to turn their head, which causes them to turn direction, then they turn away weave the opposite way, and often wind up just jumping in front of the car...and THAT's if they run!
(Sometimes they just stand there bewildered).
Exactly! I see it every day as I live in a river valley with great habitat. On one occasion I counted over 150 on the last 1.5 miles to home. My favorite is when they cross the road with hooves in the shoulder, then realize you are closing in and might be a threat. At this point they spin 180 and cross the entire road again back to "safety". This is how a large percentage get hit because the motorist times the "passing" of the deer thinking it will continue on into the ditch...until it doesn't.

My son and his girlfriend are taking a vacation to Yellowstone in June. My wife is all worried about bears and mountain lions. The deer on the way there worry me more.

A certain amount of fat adds flavoring to meat. Venison does tend to be an acquired taste because it has so little.
Frankly, I've found that any game meat is an acquired taste, whether it's venison or from some other critter.
The high inflation has certainly caused a lot of problems for people, even made some desperate. Most don't know how to hunt or what to do with an animal if they ever shot one.
Another factor feeding the coming war.

Venison fat is nasty! All my trimmings with a little meat go into a cast iron skillet for the pooch. That way it gets consumed and he loves it.

Biggest mistake even experienced hunters make is overcooking venison. If it gets to a brown color on the inside it's basically flavored shoe leather. What I had to learn the hard way was the medium rare color of venison is much more pink than beef. Down at the fire the other night, my son and I had enough steaks for a feast for 2. My other son showed up with a few friends and our feast for 2 turned into a snack for 10. I'm talking about college age girls that were raised on good food. Pretty cool to see their eyes light up and scarf down meat from a critter that never left my land.
This same group of kids is going to run me out of pheasants! Every time they come over they are asking for it. I do make some killer pheasant nuggets.

The desperation part is what worries me. Credit cards are starting to get maxed out and I think home invasions will be on the rise. This is not going to end well.

You can take your scientific illiterature and shove it. My deer herd methane footprint is near zero. Why? I feed them scientifically proven methane reduction seaweed. DUH!

It must give you great satisfaction to post this.
After years of trolling, this is the payoff.
Oh, it feels so good to be in the company of like-minded giants.
And after all these years, you've got a lot of cute little inside jokes to work with.
So satisfying, isn't it?
I bet you just can't wait to post some more, because this is SO AWESOME!
You can't BUY a feeling like this.
It takes years of trolling to reach these kinds of heights.

I can't speak for your dog, but I've known dogs that eat their own shit. At least your dog seems like the flavor of the fat, which was my original point!

So true! Venison ain't beef, and it should not be treated like beef!

So your son has a harem? Naw, I know you are talking about his classmates or such. Nice to see a group of kids appreciate good cooking, and not get squeemish about where it came from!

Home invasions are already on the rise. So are things like copper theft (sorry 'bout that, EV'rs! That charging station you were depending on was raided yesterday by homeless copper thieves!).
No, it's not. Particularly after the sham trial 'conviction', there is no going back. War and it's associated costs to society is inevitable now, perhaps as soon as THIS year, before the election. The desperate will take matters into their own hands. They will have nothing to lose. That kind of desperation is dangerous.
Never assume you beat a man that is down. He may get up.
