missed spots
Places you skipped
Missed spots are areas overlooked or left untreated when cleaning, painting, shaving, or applying something to a surface.
The phrase implies incomplete coverage despite effort: The inspector found missed spots on the freshly painted wall.
Someone who checks for missed spots is reviewing work for thoroughness.
The concept extends beyond physical surfaces—you can have missed spots in an argument or analysis.
