The meaning of words is subjective. No. Or at least, not entirely, not in any significant way, and mostly just no. If language were truly subjective, we should expect almost all attempts at communication to fail. If language were radically subjective, then two people speaking to each other in the same language would be for all intents and purposes like a speaker of (only) English trying to communicate to a speaker of (only) Chinese. It's manifestly the case that this isn't so. Beyond this, if language were truly subjective, we wouldn't be able to think (since the person-to-person communication problem would emerge even for one person). The real world strikes again.
