Annoying words and phrasesMarketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.
Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Sigh, almost, not quite. You could say, you and your point had a near miss.You are confusing the two similar (always in spelling, sometimes in meaning) words "Near" and "Nearly".
To nearly miss something would be a hit.
For two objects to have a near miss, would mean it missed, but the state of the two objects would be near to one another.
You might like to apologise to whovever you have yelled at who said near miss :)
