There is the literal definition, which is to hammer a nail into something, however it can also mean to hit something, especially with accuracy (e.g., nailed in the head).
It can have other connotations with accuracy as well: for example, "nailing a test" means getting a perfect or near-perfect score.
And finally, albeit rarely, it can be used as a sexual innuendo, similar to the word "screw" as a replacement word for "fuck"
