The expression This/it/something dropped is most frequently used in two contexts.
The first is to say that I suddenly understood or had a flash of inspiration. The usual expression is that the penny dropped, arising from the use of coin machines where the dropping of a coin produces a product or result. A similar expression is the light dawned.
This/it/something dropped is also used to describe mail or packages that are thrust through the aperture in many front doors intended for mail (and known by sundry names including letter box, letter plate, letter hole, mail slot or mailbox).
The expression may refer to one or other although it's impossible to say without further context.
