Single Point of Failure (SPOF)

The term used in an organization that is commonplace for no apparent reason to explain why leadership only designates ONE person in the whole organization to be the Point of Contact to be able to fix something that is broken. When this is person or entity isn't available the whole organization - or the specific people affected by the problem are at the mercy of this person returning to work to solve the problem. Single Point of Failure or SPOF is commonly used with another term known as FUBAR - (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition) because no professional organization would allow a Single Point of Failure to exist.

I'm sorry but we can't fix your computer today because we have a Single Point of Failure (SPOF) in that department. Pay no attention to the man behind the green curtain - he can't fix your computer - the only person who can do that isn't here today. You might want to try and click your heels together and say three times - "there's no place like home - there's no place like home - because if you were at home your internet service provider has an entire staff that is interchangeable and capable of completing most any IT-related task.

A phrase used to mock someone that is not cool or doesn't have "cool points". (Cool points are entirely made up and based on a number scale dealing with how much someone likes you.)

Sean: Wow, they're pretty gay.
John: I know. Negative infinity cool points!

John: Ellie, shut up. Negative cool points for you!
Ellie: ....you have no life....

Good Boy Points

Points are in which irrelevant under any other circumstance. Can usually be used to describe "Likes" on websites like Reddit, Instagram and Twitter.
It is a way to describe (Much like Brownie Points) to show something which has garnered a lot of appraisal but is irrecoverably invaluable to the actual discussion to the person using the phrase.
As well, it is more comically used in stories on 4chan whereas someone of lower social status describes a life of solitude with his parents or significant other who gives them "Good Boy Points".

Kat 3-Point Turn

The act of going to do a 3-point turn, usually in someone's driveway, and somehow managing to pull back out the same way you pulled in, so you are still driving in the same direction as you started.

Honey, come here quick! Some dummy is doing a Kat 3-point Turn in our driveway! It's hilarious! Let's see if they do it again in the neighbor's driveway!
