When you say "got it", what is it short for?
Is it for:
- I have it?
- I have got it?
- I have gotten it?
- I got it? (Is this even valid?)
- Something else?
Also: What is the tense of the verb?

It stands for :
I have got it!
It means that you have got the meaning of something, understood something or obtained something

+1. It can also be used for physical objects too, as well as understanding: "Have you found the torch yet? No, still searching... got it!"– psmearsCommented Jun 30, 2011 at 7:22

I have always heard "I got it," when said from three American people I met. Commented Jun 30, 2011 at 8:45
