“give it up. The terms are set. Buy a dictionary.”

Point-and-shoot is not in the dictionary. It’s one of those little buzz-phrases that hipsters love and which die out in short order. I am perfectly free to loathe it, as you no doubt loathe other fadish phrases.

Actually "point-and-shoot" is in the American Heritage Dictionary. Just sayin'.
Doh!
I think "just sayin'" is another buzz-phrase, too.
Doh! I think "doh!" is a buzzword. Damn it!
