on behalf of jeezzle regarding "caer bien"
Well...dejar + caer means to drop as Doriz above has listed. Also Caer + bien/gordo means to like or dislike but I'm not sure if that applies to objects or just people. "A ustedes le cae bien Brittney Spears." = They like Britney Spears. Can it apply to food? I'm asking.

You usually use "caer" for likes/dislikes when talking about people. When talking about food/objects, you use gustar (me gustan las frutas). Make note that the form of gustar follows the same format as caer when talking about likes/dislikes of people (A uds. les cae bien Britney Spears). Hope this helps!
best answer ever but vote me...caer gordo is a kind of slang and it means that a person (only designed for people) is annoyed or hateful now if you want to speak this phrase correctly you should have to say: "caer mal" this is the formal way but when you say caer mal you are not already only speaking about people like "caer gordo", because it also could refer about food as in this sentence: "el queso me cae mal" refering about food and "ese tipo me cae mal" refering a person so "caer gordo" only for people and a informal expression and "caer mal" for people that you dislike or for food not healthy for you vote me hans
I believe that it is dependent on the country you are from or are in. That is the broadest answer. Some places use "caer bien/mal" for all nouns: persons, places and things. However, some places use it soley for people. As for "caer gordo" I don't know because I do not use it. Good luck as you learn this new language!!!
