Meaning bubbles up from our language centers, wholly formed, without the sharp lines of the rational. Words and language are slippery and ambiguous, we never have a full, complete grasp on any of it. So it doesn't bother me that the term 'god' never receives a full and complete elucidation; we don't ask that of other words. All the same, as a Hindu I had ideas of what 'god' meant and they were distinct from what a Christian would mean by the same word. So I think this emphasis on the vagueness of the word is just a canard.
