/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "EHR" (as in "egg") + "seh" (as in "set") + "leh" (as in "let") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "BAYN" (as in "bay") + "teh" (as in "ten") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "deh" (as in "debt")/
In Mexico, to finally understand something way after it happened, when it is already too late to do anything about it. The expression comes from old payphone coins: the veinte (twenty-centavo coin) drops late. Like the person who gets the joke five minutes after everyone else moved on.
“He finally realized he had been tricked, way too late.”
“I explained it three times and it eventually clicked for him a while later.”
