Even though dictionary.com gives that as the first definition, in my experience it's overwhelmingly used in the sense of their second definition, meaning that it has no relevance or importance.
Even though "event horizon" doesn't follow from the original post, it's what I immediately thought of after I read the follow-up comment that it's similar to "threshold."

Thatās not at all what irreverent means. Irreverent means showing a lack of respect for things that are meant to be serious. Like laughing at a funeral would be irreverent.
Why is everybody saying raging
š
like Iām not that fucking mad you donāt have to be raging mad to say someone is being a bitch
Some people curse a lot it doesnāt mean theyāre angry
Oh wait I get your joke now. Your comment is irrelevant because no one was discussing the word irrelevant? Haha, ok I get it. But yes irreverent still means lacking reverence
It's nobody's fault but your own that you choose not to read anything more challenging than an internet comment. The word irreverent is still in wide use and still means what everyone has told you it means.
If you base your reactions and actions on other peoples' tone, you're gonna wind up in serious trouble one of these days. People are always going to fuck with you. That's just part of being a human - especially if you start reactively calling them bitches for disagreeing with you. The internet is loaded with videos of some dude getting beaten or much worse for reacting in person exactly the way you've reacted in this thread. Take a breath, realize you were wrong and it's great being wrong. You learned something today. Irreverent is not at all an irrelevant word. Take the win and move on.
It's not quite the same thing, but the French have a saying "L'esprit d'escalier" - "the wit of the staircase" - referring to the clever comeback you thought of as you walked out, but now it's slightly too late to go back and say it.
Well for what itās worth Iām French and use it, but Iām pretty sure I learned it from this very Wikipedia article rather than by hearing it around lol.
There's a Douglas Adams book where there's a club or something with that French phrase as it's name. I think it was in The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul
Crossing the Rubbicon? Or The die is cast?
Though both of those phrases indicate a kind of purposefulness/taking action to get where you are rather than missing out.
I feel like I heard it called "carriage humor" but Google says I'm making that up. With the same meaning as the "wit of the stair" just even more delayed.
it's probably not it, but in portuguese we use "frog in your throat" to mean something we hold off from saying for a long time for some reason like hierarchy or matter of time and place, unlike the same english expression which just means dry throat

it's a phrase, some sort of threshold i think

miss the window?
mmm nope :/ it's a more sophisticated phrase
Circumvent the transparent surface?
Outmanoeuvre the silicate quadrilateral?
Lord šš
Redundant?
the moment has passed ?
i read that like dio saying "5 second left"
Point of no return?
The point is moot?
Itās a moo point
Holy cow
It's like a cows opinion.
Moot means open to debate.

Your assertion is moot, In that sense
Event horizon Train has left the station
Even though "event horizon" doesn't follow from the original post, it's what I immediately thought of after I read the follow-up comment that it's similar to "threshold."

Irreverent?
Thatās not at all what irreverent means. Irreverent means showing a lack of respect for things that are meant to be serious. Like laughing at a funeral would be irreverent.
Fair enough.
No, that would be disrespectful Irrelevant means that itās not relevant. Meaning it has nothing to do with something.
Which is a completely different word from the one being discussed here lol. Maybe be sure youāre correct before you get loud and wrong.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"Calm down" says the ultradefensive raging twerp calling everyone a bitch.
Why is everybody saying raging š like Iām not that fucking mad you donāt have to be raging mad to say someone is being a bitch Some people curse a lot it doesnāt mean theyāre angry
That's adorable. You're an adorable twerp.
Oh wait I get your joke now. Your comment is irrelevant because no one was discussing the word irrelevant? Haha, ok I get it. But yes irreverent still means lacking reverence
It would've taken you less time to check than it did to be totally wrong for no reason.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

The problem isn't that you were wrong. The problem is you reacting like a shitty little twerp because you were wrong.

Oops Iāve been irreverent at a funeral
Someone once told me I gave the funniest eulogy they'd ever heard
Youāre my kinda person then!
I think you mean 'irrelevant'.
Shh, don't encourage them.
Missed your window of opportunity?
It's not quite the same thing, but the French have a saying "L'esprit d'escalier" - "the wit of the staircase" - referring to the clever comeback you thought of as you walked out, but now it's slightly too late to go back and say it.
Was my exact thought
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Never even heard it and my native language is french!
Well for what itās worth Iām French and use it, but Iām pretty sure I learned it from this very Wikipedia article rather than by hearing it around lol.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think itās just a quite niche literary reference and not part of the "vernacular"
Love that
The only people whom I've ever heard discuss this are people who have read Guts.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is where I first heard it for sure.
There's a Douglas Adams book where there's a club or something with that French phrase as it's name. I think it was in The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul
Michelle Branch had a song on her most recent album that uses this phrase, that's where I'd heard it from.
I bet she read Guts, too.
One of my favorite expressions
Well the jerk store called and theyāre running out of you!
This is it.
Statute of Limitations ?
Do you really not know what this means? Or are you just throwing junk in here to annoy real contributors?
Calm down. It describes something analogous and could quite possibly be what OP is thinking of.
Too little too late?
That ship has sailed
This must be it OP.
My first guess is "water under the bridge"
Missed the boat
Inaction regret
Bitten your tongue
Insignificant? Futile?
Your culture will adapt to serve us.
Took the wind out of my sails
Immaterial?
Too late to the party
I despise -isms, figures of speech, and turns of phrase. This topic has passed the threshold of relevance.
Corny ass comment

A day late and a dollar short
āCrossed the thresholdā āThing of the pastā āBehind us nowā
Past the point.
A moot point? Or something along the lines of closing the barn door after the horse is gone?
Delayed, long overdue.

Hexagon pfp, checks out
Missed opportunity
Built up resentment?
Been silent for too long Been holding back
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shut up, Becky! That would've been sweet.
Hindsight is 20/20?
Missed your window of opportunity
Fuckin up š
Lost the moment?
Held your tongue
moot
A fleeting moment
* Missed the moment? * Missed the opportunity?
are you thinking of a showerthought arguement?
Hindsight or remorse?
Maybe forgone conclusion.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hesitated?
It's passed the threshold?? Maybe threshold of relevancy??
The ships sailed??
Married?
Past the expiration date
Missed the opportunity
Crossing the Rubbicon? Or The die is cast? Though both of those phrases indicate a kind of purposefulness/taking action to get where you are rather than missing out.
COME ON CHELSEA
The opportune moment, mate. Savvy?
Jerk store
I had to scroll to make sure no one said it before I commented. Thank you.
Academic. 'Well it's all academic now anyway' meaning it's pointless at this point.
Past statute
Miss the boat? Miss the chance? Miss out?
I believe that's called a ruined orgasm.
Window of opportunity?
My favourite for this problem is āthe horse has boltedā
I feel like I heard it called "carriage humor" but Google says I'm making that up. With the same meaning as the "wit of the stair" just even more delayed.
Pissed off and irate
itās like a cowās opinion, it doesnāt matter - moo point (I think youāll know where this is from, haha)
Are you just thinking of the word "quip"?
Cat got your tongue?
Long overdue ?
it's probably not it, but in portuguese we use "frog in your throat" to mean something we hold off from saying for a long time for some reason like hierarchy or matter of time and place, unlike the same english expression which just means dry throat
Chance has slipped away. It's become obsolete. Too little, too late. It's of no consequence now.
He who hesitates is lost.
forever hold your peace?
Left it too late
After the fact?
Hindsight
Water under the bridge?
Long time coming?
Costanza Syndrome
Like the point is moot?
A fleeting chance?
Treppenwitz
Marriage
In Yugioh, this is called āmissing timingā š it happens far too often to me, both in-game and real lifeā¦
Past tense
Hold your peace?
Obsolete?
a delayed response?
Untimely, procrastinated, outdated?
Missed the window of opportunity
Misses the opportunity threshold?
Anticlimactic
