You're wrong.
I've never heard anyone say "high spot" of the evening. I've heard "high point" but never spot, perhaps you meant high point?

Have a look at ONE LOOK DICTIONARY SEARCH-- always a good place to check before you make absolute statements. Just because you've never heard a word or phrase does not mean it is nonexistent.

Yes, high point exists as its synonym as well.

Hi Marcel, in addition to Mister Micawber's answer I'd like to point out that it's always a good idea to find out more about the author of a certain phrase.
