Better way of saying “Go-to man”? @helen melichar: My understanding is that the point person (actually a point man) is the one who "leads a charge" in the military. Is this the sense you want? |

Is there a word for temporary-but-may-become-permanent? @dotancohen: They're evaluating you, you're evaluating them, but it seems like at least one is "trying out" the other. |

What is the opposite of gem-like? @I edited the question by changing "jewel" to "gem." I believe that the new question can be answered (as it was before closing), and nominate it for reopening |

What does “I believe in making America safe for old-fashioned light bulbs and not those weird curly ones,” mean? @Wfaulk: English SE isn't the place for a political diatribe. But it is the place for WORDS and expressions used in a political diatribe IMHO. So you're OWN diatribe is off-topic, but questions about someone ELSE's (particularly a presidential candidate) should be acceptable. |
