The explanation was as clear as crystal.Her lecture was not clear as crystal, but at least it was not dull.

My algebra class is hard for me, but I’m beginning to see the light.I was totally confused, but I began to see the light after your explanation.

Jane's an open book. I always know what she is going to do next.The committee's intentions are an open book. They want to save money.

John is so strange. I can't make heads or tails of him.Do this report again. I can't make heads or tails out of it.

The truth of the matter suddenly came home to me.It all came home to me while I was taking a bath. Suddenly I understood everything.

He found it difficult to come to grips with his grandmother's death.Many students have a hard time coming to grips with algebra.

I really dig Tom. He's a special guy.I really dig rock music.

This is Delta heavy 54. Do you read me?I have said no twenty times already! The answer is still no! Do you read me?

Why do I always have to shout at you to drive something home?Sometimes you have to be forceful to drive home a point.

It's hard to figure John out. I don't know what he means.I can't figure out this recipe.

I can't quite get a fix on what you're trying to say.I can't get a fix on where you're going with this argument.

Try to get a grasp of the basic rules.You don’t have a good grasp of the principles yet.John was unable to get a solid grasp of the methods used in his work, and we had to let him go.

Let me try to get a handle on this.You can't seem to get a handle on what I'm saying.Now that I have a handle on the concept, I can begin to understand it.

I'm going to get your number if I can. You're a real puzzle.I've got Tom's number. He's ambitious.

John told a joke, but I didn't get it.Bob laughed very hard, but Mary didn't get it.

Now get this straight. You're going to fail history.Let me get this straight. I'm supposed to go there in the morning?Let me make sure I have this straight.

He can't seem to get it through his thick skull.If I could get this into my thick head once, I'd remember it.

I have to study tonight. I have to get a lot of algebra under my belt.Now that I have the Professor's theory under my belt, I can rest easy.

As soon as I get the hang of this computer, I'll be able to work faster.Now that I have the hang of starting the car in cold weather, I won't have to get up so early.

Okay, Bob. That's the whole explanation. You get the picture?Yes, I got the picture.

Why don't you try to understand me? What do I have to do to get through to you?Can anybody get through, or are you just stubborn?Ann is still too sick to understand what I'm saying. Maybe I can get through to her tomorrow.

We must get to the bottom of this problem immediately.There is clearly something wrong here, and I want to get to the bottom of it.

We have to stop wasting time and get to the heart of the matter.You've been very helpful. You really seem to be able to get to the heart of the matter.

I'm afraid you missed the point. Let me explain it again.You keep explaining, and I keep missing the point.

I can't make sense out of what you just said.We were not able to make anything out of the message.

The children have no idea what the new teacher is talking about. Her ideas are way over their heads.She enrolled in a physics course, but it turned out to be miles over her head.

Well, I put two and two together and came up with an idea of who did it.Don't worry. John won't figure it out. He can't put two and two together.

After a lot of studying and asking many questions, I finally saw the light.I know that geometry is difficult. Keep working at it. You'll see the light pretty soon.

I heard what you said, but it took a while for it to sink in.I pay careful attention to everything I hear in class, but it usually doesn't sink in.

Jane was confused about the date, so I straightened her out.I took a few minutes and straightened out everyone.

I said I didn't want to see you anymore. Can't you take a hint? I don't like you.Sure I can take a hint, but I'd rather be told directly.

It was almost a week before I began to wise up to John. He's a total phony.You had better stay hidden for a while. The police are beginning to wise up.

The matter is settled. No more talk. Capish?Now, if you don't capish, let's get it clear right now.

Everything he said is as clear as vodka.I understand what John said, but everything you say is clear as vodka.

I just don't dig what you are saying.Sorry. I just don't dig.

This is supposed to be easy. Do I have to paint a picture?Do I have to draw you a picture, or can you visualize this?

Get my drift? Should I explain it again?Do you get my drift, or shall I run through it again?

Sorry. I don't get it.Don't you get it?

Things are tough around here, and we need everyone's cooperation. Get the picture?We don't need lazy people around here. Get the message?

Gotcha! Thanks for telling me.Seven pounds, four ounces? Gotcha! I'll tell everybody.

I can really grok what you're saying.I don't quite grok that. Run it by again, would you?

Yes, yes. I hear what you are saying, and I'm with you.Yeah! I hear you!

I hear you. So do what you want.I hear you, but it doesn't matter.

I smell you. No need to go on and on.That's enough. I smell you. Don't go on and on.

Ask my mouthpiece about taxes. He knows all the angles.Rocko knows all the angles. That's how he keeps out of the slammer.

I don't have the knowhow to do this job.You'll get the knowhow on the job.

Poor Tom doesn't know shit from Shinola.Fred can't tell shit from Shinola, and he's been made my boss.

Don't try to con me. I know the score.She knows the score. She wasn't born yesterday.

Heidi knows what's what. She can help.We don't know what's what around here yet.

I know where it's at. I don't need to be told.We know where it's at, and we want to change it.

I know where you're coming from. I've been there.We all know where he's coming from. That's why we are so worried.

When Fred finally latched onto the principles of algebra, he began to get better grades.Sue doesn't quite latch onto the proper stance in golf.

I can't quite make the scene, but it looks like Bruno punched the guy over here. Then he moved to the window over here, and that's when the old dame across the street saw him.I can make the scene. It's just like you said, except Bruno came in and found the guy laid out on the floor.

We're not on the same wavelength. Let's try again.We kept talking until we were on the same wavelength.

Don't try to psych me out.The batter tried to psych out the pitcher, but it didn't work.

Do you savvy?Can you savvy at all what I am trying to tell you?I just can't savvy stuff like that.

I gotcha. Now you're speaking my language.Mary speaks Fred's language. They get along fine.

I'm not really squared away on this stuff, but I'm beginning to see the light.We'll get everything squared away in a few days.

I can't seem to suss Tom out. What a strange guy.I don't have any luck sussing out people I don't know well.

I know where you're at. I know what you are talking about.You said it! I know just where you're at!

Sally finally wised up to Max.Come on, Sally! Wise up!
