I think that I inherited this phrase from my Grandmother because I still hear her say it all the time. I too am often stating when something does or does not “hit the spot.” So the other day my husband asked me… “What is the spot anyway?” I have to admit that this was a very good question because it took me a minute to think of what I am referring to when I use this term. And so I have decided that something that merely “tastes good” does not always hit the spot, but rather a spot must first be cleared in order to be hit. You must be aiming for something right? The Spot: A mental image of something that sounds good, a savored taste or craving or want of something in particular.
Hitting the Spot: Getting exactly what you had in mind!
