point man

Ordinarily a military term, but recently having found its way into everyday jargon, a point man is member of an operation who leads at the front of the group. Generally this causes them to be the first person exposed to threat or danger.

The act of being a point man is to "be on point," "take point," or "walk point."

I'll be your point man since you're not familiar with the area. Make sure you watch my back.

"Huh?"
"We only accept Microsoft Points!"

Pity Points

An arbitrary score that is given to a person who tries to make people feel sorry for them all the time.

Wow...are you really going to post that? It looks like someone is trying to get pity points from some random chickenheads.

interwebz point

Interwebz points (or interwebs points) are an unofficial currency of internet chatrooms and discussion boards. They don't count for anything, but some folks still "collect" them as a badge of honor. Originally used positively as a means of recognizing another's kindness, may also be used sarcastically to highlight another's status as a noob.

Thanks for the awesome vacation suggestion, TheTopDog, +10 interwebz points for you. ASSMUNCH1337, your suggestion sucked, -1,000 interwebz points for you.

Monkey Points

In the film industry on low budget films, Monkey Points means that the talent (the actor, ...) receives a percentage of net profits instead of gross profits. Eddie Murphy coined the derogatory term because film industry accounting never shows a net profit and talent should always insist on points on gross profit, not net profit.

Eddie Murphy turned down the part saying he'd never be fool enough to take Monkey Points!

My turning point was when I moved to London.
