Some American English expressions sound like they could hurt.

Hit the spot.

Let's see if Ana and Jonathan can help us out.

Have you been to the new restaurant down the street?

I haven't.

Is the food any good?

It's delicious.

I ate lunch there yesterday, and I had a hamburger that really hits the spot.

Ah, hamburger is exactly what I need right now.

If something hits the spot, it is exactly what is needed or wanted.

It is completely satisfying, like the hamburger in our example.

This expression became popular in the 19 thirties.

It was used in a short song, advertising a popular soft drink said to hit the spot, and that's English in a minute.
