TIL what “point blank” actually means.

- kelnos 3y agoSame; I always thought it essentially just meant "shot at such a close range that you can't miss". (Though I expect most people do actually use it that way, even if it's incorrect.)
- thinkharderdev 3y agoHa, I had always assumed it meant something on the order of inches.
- Quekid5 3y agoFinally something useful to be gained from this whole thread. That was a TIL for me as well.
