The Non-interesting, but Informative, Etymology of "On Point"
What does On Point mean? It's also in that dating game Strong Bad made (Marzipan: "Strong bad is on point"). Does it mean cool? Does it deserve a page of its own?
- I can't tell you for sure what it means, but I can vouch that it pre-dates HR references; there's an NPR program by the same name, and Googling it shows it in connection with various businesses and agencies. So no, page not good. — notstrongorbad 09:18, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

- on point adj. [1990s] alert, sharp, aware. [military point, the lead man of a patrol]
