命门
mìngmén

❶ 中医指两肾之间的一个部位,认为它是人体生理机能和生命活动的根源。
❷ 命门穴,人的第二腰椎棘突下凹陷的部位。
❸ 比喻最要害的部位或最致命的地方:他的举报直接触及这伙贪官的~。

字节掐准了商家命门

- Hang on: that's too much information, as it gives away a vital part of the plot.
- Beer has always been a vital part of Flanders' rich history, tradition and culture.
... which gives one the wrong idea, I think.
