Well instead of eating breakfast I went back and edited the reply for those of you that found the term "nailed it" disturbing. To me and my crowd it has always meant the following:
tr.v. nailed, nail·ing, nails
1.
a.To perform successfully or have noteworthy success in: nailed the dive; nailed the exam.
2.Slang
a.To strike or bring down: nail a bird in flight; nail a running back.
b.To perform successfully or have noteworthy success in: nailed the dive; nailed the exam.
3.Baseball To put out (a base runner).
Phrasal Verb(s):
nail down
1.To discover or establish conclusively: nailed down the story by checking all the facts.
2.To win: nailed down another victory in the golf tournament.
3.To specify or fix: We were finally able to nail down a meeting time.
Meaning that the others had "nailed it", i.e., the answer to the original queston of "What is this......"
