The black spot corresponds to the 'short stick' in drawing straws...'cept yer marked for, gulp!, death! (used by, gasp!, pirates!) I think this comes from Robert Lewis Stevenson's Long John Silver, the pirate, character of "Treasure Island". I think...mebbe...yas, mebbe. No money-back garuntee, 'course.

sionnach commented on the list chromatic-phrases
These are all good suggestions - thanks! Wikipedia on "black spot"
The Black Spot is a fictional literary device invented by Robert Louis Stevenson for his novel Treasure Island. In the book, a pirate is presented with a "black spot" to officially pronounce a verdict of guilt or judgment. It consists of a circular piece of black paper or card placed in the hand of the accused.
but later in the Wikipedia piece
There is no record of "black spots" in reality and how Stevenson came up with the idea is unknown.
So (probably because I was never a fan of "Treasure Island" as much as anything else) I've decided against it.
What joy there is in this ability to exercise power while making petty decisions about questions of no import whatsoever!

Sionnach, don't know whether you're on Facebook, but the Wordnik group there is coming up with all sorts of suggestions for this list (it's List of the Day, in case you didn't know). Not sure why they don't just pop in here and post, but for what it's worth....

Thanks, r_t. I have so far managed to resist Facebook. But at least I now understand what has been generating all those quadruple comment notifications in my e-mail inbox.
Hoping that this comment doesn't show up in quadruplicate in other people's e-mail...

Re resisting Facebook: Wise man. It's too late for me.
I'm not sure how FB posts could relate to your getting quadruplicate posts from Wordnik, though.
