That's the crust of it.
Hello,
In a therapy session, a therapist asked the family members to allow each of them to talk about their own problem in turn, and the others should not interrupt. They all agreed. And then the therapist asked Tom to talk.
Tom: That's really the crust of it. I just get so irritated when they start that crap. I would like it to stop.
What does "crust" mean in this context? Does it refer to "hard"? It is very hard for Tom not to interrupt when other people said something?
I don't find a suitable entry from my dictionary. And I know there's a website named OneLook which provides all kinds of dictionaries, up to 22 dictionaries, but it is kinda of unpractical to look up each of them. Would you recommend which dictionaries are most valuable for me?
Thanks!

0Crust makes no sense there.
Is it possible that Tom said gist, not crust?
