Twigged. Twigged. Past tense of "twig", meaning small stick?

@cliffordbeshers @miraz Branched out?

@odd @miraz The practice seems deeply rooted.

@cliffordbeshers Hmmm, not sure what your comment here is about… Is 'twigged' not a word folks in your parts use to mean 'realised / understood'?

@cliffordbeshers Or perhaps I'm just being dense. My excuse is I'm travelling from Whangārei to Waikawa Beach today. First leg achieved.

I’ve never heard that expression before, but I understood quickly what you meant.

@odd I realised I hadn't used that turn of phrase myself for quite a long time.

Correct. We would say tumbled, it clicked, or something like that.

@Miraz @cliffordbeshers

Yeah, 'twigged' is British English. I clearly watch too many panel shows to know that...
