"On point"

[pbg2770]

Is it just me, or does this phrase make anybody else's skin crawl?

I don't know the origin of it. I'm now hearing it almost every week. I've now even seen it on ph. Please, no more.

I only ever used during my time in the army, referring to go on point, to be the person who walks at the front of the patrol.

Well that's very different! No complaints on that usage from my side :-)

About threads they resent, for example.

- Work emails, starting with "Team,..... "
- "To be fair, I did say..... " (To be fair to whom? To you?)
- "Really?"
- Sentences starting with "So".

The usage of any / all of these should result in a lifetime of Zafira driving.

Last one:

"Well, the proof is in the pudding". Only if you're an ignoramus. The proof is in the damn EATING of the pudding.

Oh yes, that's execrable.
