| Phrase | to spot |
| Text | The verb "to spot," in this podcast, means to identify something that may be difficult to see or find: "We went to the marathon to cheer on Benny, but we couldn't spot him among all the runners." Or, "The paparazzi try to spot celebrities and take photos of them to sell to others." The phrase "to be spotted" means to have many small round marks: "Cheetahs are easy to identify, because they are spotted." A "spot check" is a review or examination of just a few things or people to conclude whether everything is correct or acceptable: "All the receptionist's calls are recorded, but we spot check only about four percent of them for quality assurance." Finally, the phrase "blind spot" describes something that one cannot see or understand: "Hank has a blind spot regarding his youngest son's behavior." |
