ram home
Make emphatically clear
To ram home is to drive a point forcefully until it's fully absorbed—like ramming a rod to seat a charge in a muzzle-loading gun.
The phrase emphasizes insistent repetition or emphatic delivery: The coach rammed home the importance of fundamentals.
You ram home an argument, a message, or a lesson, making sure it sticks.
