my point exactly
Appearance
English
[edit]Interjection
[edit]- That's exactly my point.
Usage notes
[edit]Used in response to someone to indicate that their point supports a point the speaker has already made; often as a way to draw that person's focus to some conclusion. This may be done ironically, as a way to say that someone is inadvertently supporting the speaker's position while arguing against it.
