put your finger on something
identify precisely · pinpoint the exact cause/issue
What's the situation?
This expression is super useful when you know something is off or there's an issue, but you can't quite articulate exactly what it is. It's like trying to find a specific piece of a puzzle! 🧩 You feel it, you know it's there, but you need to *put your finger on it* to move forward. Perfect for problem-solving meetings or brainstorming sessions.
