To finally understand something you had not grasped before, that lightbulb moment when the pieces finally click in your head. The phrase comes from old vending machines in Mexico where you had to drop a 20 centavo coin and wait for it to fall and register.

“It finally hit me that he was cheating on me when I saw the messages.”
