/Sounds like "KEH" (as in "kept") + "LOH" (as in "loan") + "KEH" (as in "kept")/
A casual Dominican greeting meaning 'What's up?' or 'How are you?', probably the first phrase you learn upon arriving in Santo Domingo. It's as Dominican as merengue and the flag.
“Qué lo qué, my brother!”
“I got to the party and the first thing I heard was 'Qué lo qué!'.”

Le cayó el veinte
The penny finally dropped: someone finally understood something that had been going over their head. The image comes from old Mexican pay phones where you dropped a 20-cent coin ("el veinte") to make the connection. Used both sincerely when someone genuinely figures something out, and sarcastically when they took way too long.
