hit the spot
Definition: A phrase that means 'that was really good' or 'that was just wha
t I needed'.
Example: 1) Mmmm - that cup of coffee really hit the spot!
2) I needed a good laugh, and that slang cartoon really hit the spot.
Etymology: 'The spot' refers to a need you might have, like hunger. When you
get some food, you have addressed or taken care of that need - or 'hit the
spot'. The term is usually used for food and drink, but also for other kinds
of pleasures, such as entertainment.
