The use of the phrase "on point" when not referring to... a role in a military patrol
It's a while ago, but used to use it in this sense to describe the person nominated by daily rota to sit nearest the department door, who would try and intercept and engage incoming hostile customers before they could disrupt the team as a whole.

The use of the phrase "on point" when not referring to a dancer's foot position, a role in a military patrol or the concise arguing of a point in court by a legal professional.
