That's my point

To agree with the point you just made after having to paraphrase it because of lanugage usage.

Used mainly by corporate America executives talking in a high level of vocabulary sprinkled with a great amount corporate jargon.

Subordinates tend to paraphrase the words to verify understanding.
Executive: "Please dial down through this white paper presentation to ensure that all stakeholders are concur and agree with the results."

Non-Executive: "So read the report and make sure it's correct."

Executive: "That's my point exactly."

There is no point in having a tail and wagging it

If you are in charge of a group of people there is no point in doing the work yourself, instead of making your workers do it for you.
The supervisor Phil was shoveling sawdust while his workers were watching. Marcus yelled out 'there is no point in having a tail and wagging it'. Phil put the shovel down and made the workers do the shoveling.

tipping point

In sociology, the tipping point is the moment when something unique in society becomes commonplace. Also known as the angle of repose.
The phrase was coined by political scientist Morton Grodzins. A book was written (and published in 2000) on such dramatic moments by Malcolm Gladwell.

Also, the title of (the Philladelphia hip-hop group) the Roots' 2004 album. The album recieved two Grammy nominations and debuted at #4 on Billboard album chart.
The Tipping Point
The rains have saturated the grounds upon which they exist
40 days and 40 nights, musical mediocrity
Filling every crack of our space, no more
The kids have been packed to the tops of their lives
With hypnotic donkey rhythms
Believe that the sun will appear
On this 41st day and the dove will bring word
that art has not been drowned and life music
Will thrust its branches up from the mud of wackness
And begin to strangle the cousins of milli, vanilli
With mines of music, the Tipping point
The sounds have changed, the whispers of where we began
Invade out nostrils, like the smell of history’s future
The not quite art supernova today
So make us give you more and we will
The Tipping Point
