Mute Point

A point so stupid that if it was uttered in a Zoom meeting, you would be muted for the remainder of the meeting.

Person A: “I don’t hold a hose, it’s not a race.”
Person B: “mute point”; presses mute

Rest of Australia: applause

snapping point

When you have reached the point where you have had enough. The point where you feel as though you can't take it anymore.

She was tired of the humiliation, she was tired f the lies; she had reached her snapping point.

Sokoban point

A messy appartment reaches the sokoban point when putting down an object requires displacing another one.

Yeah I know, but there's nothing I can do, the washing machine is trapped under old pizza boxes.. Looks like we've reached the sokoban point again..

Point of Redickulum

the point in time that something has become ridiculous, and/or annoying.

I begged my husband to stop and ask for directions. The driving around in circles had reached the point of redickulum.

Meat Points

Really hard, protruding nipples. Generally of the female variety but can apply to a male with stiffers as well.

The conference room was so cold today that every female in the room had meat points.

This cold weather gives me meat points.

She really gets off when I pinch her meat points.

Unicorn Point

Euphemism for "reputation points" that can be earned by users of any Stack Exchange site (e.g. Stack Overflow); earned mostly by posting high quality questions/answers.

1. That being said, if you post a good bug report here, you'll tend to get lots of Unicorn Points for your question reporting it.

2. See this screenshot I spent a lot of unicorn points to make

3. So I was on an aimless stroll through the SE Leaderboards and planning admiring unicorn points when I figured I'd shift to another site to be more productive.
