good point well made

Said to acknowledge someone else's explanation of something and thank them for it, with the added undertone of acknowledging that yeah now that you think about it, really that should have been obvious all along and you were being stupid for even asking the question in the first place.

An early (and possibly the first) appearance of the phrase, with this undertone, occurs in a joke in the 1992 episode "Holoship" of British sci-fi comedy TV series Red Dwarf, with the following exchange:

The Cat : Why don't we drop the defensive shields?

Kryten : A superlative suggestion, sir. With just two minor flaws. One, we don't have any defensive shields. And two, we don't have any defensive shields. Now I realise that technically speaking that's only one flaw but I thought that it was such a big one that it was worth mentioning twice.

The Cat : Good point, well made.
Alice: Are you coming round to my house tonight?

Bob: No, I'm away on holiday. I told you yesterday.

Alice: Good point well made.

Slay Points

An imaginary meter showing how much you slay. The highest (1st and 2nd) slay points are for the founder, my friend, and the co-founder, me, with the number in the example. Tip: You gain 0.0025 to 0.01 slay points a second for doing nothing.
Me: *gets 300 slay points for doing homework* Yes... 300 out of 634,257.381 in total.

Mute Point

When you see a comment so ridiculous on social media that you instantly mute/block the poster, regardless of length of friendship or without further scrutiny of poster's page
