SQUALID SPOT is a term used to describe a place that is in a state of disrepair and uncleanliness. It is often used to refer to a place that is neglected or abandoned, and is usually characterized by dirt, grime, and general disarray. The DEN in this context is a place where animals live, such as a fox DEN or a bear DEN. It is a small, dark, and often cramped space that is not well-maintained and can be considered a squalid spot.
