“the only
spot in the
spot” — the only visibly identifiable member of crowd that is not a member of the majority of that crowd including but not limited to:
The only Black person at a private school
The only White person at a
Black Family Reunion
The only flamboyantly
gay or lesbian person in a room full of Christian Nationalist
The only biracial person in a room full of uni-racial people
The only differently abled person in a room full of the biological normative
A single woman at a swinger’s club cruising for a
threesome — so rare that they are called unicorns and have their own appellation.
Depending on the strength of character of the person in this situation. this can be a very fun, very comfortable, or very uncomfortable experience. And, if you
don’t understand this phrase; then you have never been “the only spot in the spot”.
Ironically in a
society and culture that prides itself on rugged individuality; there are still more extreme ways of being “individual”. Cultural food for thought.
