New York minute
Barely any time
A New York minute is an extremely short span of time—an instant.
The phrase captures the perception that life in New York City moves faster than elsewhere, so a minute there feels briefer than anywhere else: I'd take that job in a New York minute.
Often used to express eagerness or certainty about a decision.
