Yeah, you're right about the language. I remember having met someone when I was pretty new to Scientology, I think I met this lady at work, she said something I agreed with, and I said "Spot on". She looked at me perplexed, I could see her thinking, "Where did this guy get that saying?"
I wonder if she thought I was weird.
Funny thing is, I don't think I have ever heard that saying anywhere else but in Scientology. It almost makes me chuckle just to recall it.
Is "spot on" a Scientologist saying? The first time I ever heard the term, I was working as a copy editor for a music magazine in NYC in 1995. One of the writers had used that term in a review, and I asked my editor what it meant. He said it was a British expression meaning "right on target". I've been hearing it more and more the last few years and just assumed my editor was right and it was just some British slang getting popular here in the States.
