How it's used
This expression originates from the craft of carpentry, where a joint fits perfectly into a corresponding slot. It carries a strong sense of natural compatibility or chemistry between people. While it can describe objects fitting together, it is most frequently used to describe the intangible connection between friends or partners.
Examples
He and I really hit it off perfectly.
You two have such similar interests, you must really get along well.
