EV 1047 - X Marks the ???? by Rustic

I thoroughly get (I think) all of this crossword except, and probably vitally, completing the blanked off area for which I have a couple of equally appropriate words. There seems to be no way to verify which is correct. Anyone else having this problem or is it blindingly obvious?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'm not finding it obvious either. The word that obviously completes the puzzle title makes no sense in the area, so it seems that you can either put in a word describing the area, or a word describing what would be inserted into the area. Neither choice seems to create any hidden words in the grid that might give some direction. Perhaps the puzzle title suggests a word that rhymes with what goes into the area?
I am totally confused - yet again, I hear you cry! I have finished the grid, got the statement (oh, so true!) and plethora of a certain letter.........but....... have absolutely no hint of a PDM. I can only think of the blindingly obvious, which it blatently isn't as there is no connection to the rest of it. So irritating to be stumped at the last fence.
DD, I can only give you my 'take' on it. So, the letter you mention, of which there is a plethora, is an abbreviation for what goes in the item mentioned in the quote, and goes in the blanked off area but fails to emerge. The blanked off area is the correct shape for the word it represents, which rhymes, as Twit-Who says, with the word one expects.
Other solvers are considering more subtle variations on this, I think.
