got the point
Grasped the meaning
Got the point means understood the essential meaning or message.
When someone gets the point, they grasp what's being communicated—whether an argument, a joke, or an implied criticism.
Often appears after explanation or repetition: I got the point the first time, you don't need to keep saying it.
To miss the point is the opposite.
