Bring us your expression

What they say where you're from and isn't in the Slangtionary yet

You are adding to The penny dropped. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

  • I’m moaning the self-checkout’s broken, then realise I’ve been tapping my Oyster card. A second later the penny dropped and I just laughed.
  • I explained it twice before the penny finally dropped.
  • It took a while, but then the penny dropped and she burst out laughing.
  • We were ten minutes into the pub quiz argument before the penny dropped and I realised we'd been reading the wrong question.
  • Mum kept hinting it was a surprise party for me, and the penny only dropped when I walked in and saw my own stupid face on the cake.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
