spot me
Lend a hand
Spot me is a request for backup or assistance in a specific situation.
In weightlifting, it means standing ready to help if the lifter can't complete a rep: Can you spot me on this bench press?
More casually, it asks someone to lend money with an expectation of repayment: Can you spot me twenty bucks until Friday?
Both uses share the idea of temporary support when someone needs a hand.
