good point 

A very useful way of saying "I hear you, but I don't give a damn!" without appearing to give offence in a discussion.
"The research into the habitat and ongoing ecological damage control systems by the institute of applied science field work study team has found that such a program will have adverse effects on the ecosystem as a whole and is not, in the foreseeable future, sustainable."

Good point 

The opposite would beeeee.... Bad... What is the opposite of point? Nub? Like a pointed end and a nub end? Thesaurus says "whole" "personality" and "lot" for antonyms.... None of those seem right.
Iam "Good point about the compartmentalization though... That actually makes a lot of sense... Hmm... I can see how that might apply to me...."

Hym "I hate everyone.... And everything.... Why can some scientist mess with forces they don't understand and unleash some horror on the world. Like giant bugs. Shadow monsters..."

Iam "Sentient plants?"

Hym "Yes! Giant sentient sunflowers that drink blood and paralyze people with power."

Iam "Heh that's also a good idea I guess..."

good point well made 

In an attempt to be original this phrase was created by Neal Coombes circa 2017 as an adaptation of fair point, well made. Today is an overly used extremely tired phrase.

Good point pencil tip 

When somebody makes a valid point that you didn’t think of before you let them know they made a good point by saying “Good point pencil tip!”. Or you can shorten it with GPPT.
Jimmy: Man these noobs keep camping in call of duty
Lane: The map requires stealth, you can’t just run around like a chicken with its head cut off
Jimmy: GOOD POINT PENCIL TIP!

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.

That's a good point

Not an admission, exactly, just an acknowledgement that someone's argument has validity.
Person1: "I think your idea sucks."
Person2: "Sure, that's a good point."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

age gate 

An absolutely foolproof way to keep minors from viewing content deemed "too mature" for them to watch.
Billy: "So I was trying to watch some videos for an M rated game, and I ran into an age gate, so I put in my real birthday. SOMEHOW it managed to figure out that I am 12. CURSE YOU AGE GATE!!!"

Bill: "Fucking age gate! *quick scroll* THERE! I was born on January 1, 1904. Fuck you age gate."
