Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like the English word "me" (same pronunciation) + "KAH" (as in "car") + "eh" (as in "egg") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "BAYN" (as in "bay") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

When something finally clicks, the moment of delayed understanding when a coin drops. In Mexico, it comes from old coin-operated phones where the 20-centavo coin had to drop for the call to go through; now it means 'now I get it'.

Examples

Me cayó el veinte de lo que dijiste hasta una hora después.

What you said only clicked for me an hour later.

Did it finally dawn on you that he was lying to you?
