On point? I can tell by the context it means something along the lines of being sharp or on top of his game. Is that something the kids are saying these days? Because it is gibberish.

Sure, if by "kids" you mean everyone who has ever used this decades-old slang term.

"On point" is an old military term. "On fleek" is the new "on point".

Hopefully the idiots that write star wars fan fiction start using 'on point' in their narrarives.

Fan fiction. LOL. Just have to laugh at that shite.

Don Rickles


I attended a taping of Letterman about 12-13 years ago and Rickles was the guest. He was great.

Rickles is coming to Biloxi... IP Casino on June 27.

I'm going. No way I'm going to miss the greatest insult comedian on earth!

Apparently I am sheltered because I have never heard that turn of phrase in my life.

Even in such poor health, Rickles was perfect.

Nice to see Stern give Rickles such praise and to work with Rickles instead of stepping on his time.

And I love how Dave just sits back now and just enjoys seeing his guests work their segments. It's a joy to watch. Stern was in full Howard mode and Dave couldn't have enjoyed it more.

Good show but Rickles looks like he will not be on tv much more.

Gibberish? So among all old people terms out there, gibberish is what you went with?

If you're going to speak the language of the creaky-voiced old timers among us, gobbledygook might have been a better play.

No. Your post it gibberish. And not on point.

I'm pissed I missed this. I love Don Rickles.

I found a part of the show, but not all of it.
