Spot the Frippet: spot.

What easier spot can there be than a spot?

(Just hope it's not on your nose.)

The nearest spot to me is on this keyboard. There are actually quite a few of them: (look, there are two, one on top of the other. And there's another one! Punctuation is just full of them.).

Can you spot a spotty scarf or spotty tie? Do you have your own spot on the sofa? Do you have a spot (of something strongly alcoholic) from time to time? There's a spot ball at billiards, and other spots to be found on the snooker table and soccer field.

Can you spot a dalmatian:

 or a thrush, or a trout?

Or a leopard:

 - or (I hope, if it's a coat) fake leopard?

Do you have a weak spot? Most of us do. 

Just as long as your own spot isn't a tight one.

Spot the Frippet: a spot. This word came into the English language in the 1100s, when it meant a moral failing (Which is interesting in view of Lady Macbeth's damned spot). The word is basically Germanic.
