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.

Bo Points

An imaginary point system awarded when a lesbian does something stereotypically lesbain.

Girl A: I just changed my oil and hammered something all while drinking a beer!

Girl B: Nice! If only you had also said "Nailed me some bitches!" You would have score bonus Bo Points.

-or-

Girl: Serena does not know how to drive a manual transmission! I am hereby stripping her of any and all accrued Bo Points.

zero-point-once

1. One-tenth of a time.
2. (in mathematics) Used to describe a quotient between 0.1 and 0.2.

I ran around the track zero-point-once, then I got tired.
“Seven goes into 1 zero-point-once, with a remainder of 0.3.”

(Said by someone on Numberphile, a channel on YouTube.)

What point am I trying to make?

The point I'm trying to make is that somone either spoke to God or they didn't. If they claim to have spoken to the creator of the universe and DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO THAT... THEY ARE LYING. God DIDN'T tell them to kill the Ammelekites. God DIDN'T give Moses magic powers. And you either THINK THAT THAT HAPPENED... Or YOU DON'T THINK THAT THAT HAPPENED.

Hym "What point am I trying to make? The point I'm trying to make is that you're a fucking charlatan. You could tell the truth. But instead of doing that, you are LYING. You are a greedy power hungery LIAR. You are LYING to get the adulation of an incest cult. Where as I am telling the truth and having adulation within from me for the explicit purpose of preventing me from attaining a better life."

olsen point

the saturation point(s) for bit characters and other supporting story elements (in the development of a narrative body, shared universe, or microgenre) at which those characters or story elements can support the weight of their own separate (if parallel) narratives

Superman's pal, Jimmy Olsen, hit his olsen point when, due to the popularity of actor Jack Larson's portrayal of Jimmy, the character was given his own regular title in the lead role.
