Term: On Point
Definition: When we say something is on point, it means we are discussing the exact issue that is important right now. It is relevant and appropriate to the situation. For example, if we are talking about a problem with a computer, a solution that is on point would be one that directly addresses that problem. The opposite of on point is off point, which means something is not relevant or appropriate to the situation.
Definition: When something is "on point," it means that it is directly related to the topic being discussed. It is relevant and appropriate.
For example, if a group of people are discussing a specific problem, and someone offers a solution that directly addresses that problem, their suggestion is "on point." However, if someone offers a solution that is not related to the problem at hand, their suggestion is "off point."
Another example could be in a debate. If a debater makes a point that directly supports their argument, it is "on point." But if they make a point that is not relevant to the topic or argument, it is "off point."
