Bandera de México

/leh kah-YO el BAYN-teh/

The penny finally dropped — they finally understood something that took a while to sink in. From the old payphone era when you'd drop a 20-cent coin to make a call.

Example

"He finally realized she was flirting with him — took him three months."

"It finally clicked when he saw the evidence in front of him."
