When talking about the market, i hear people say a horse has moved a "point". Does a point equal a dollar?

Ive also heard terms like"************s", "tongue ties"

Can anyone explain what these are and why a trainer would use these.

If there is a website explaining racing lingo then that would make it easier for everyone.

Thanks in advanced
