chop-chop
Get moving now
Chop-chop means quickly or hurry up, used as an interjection urging speed: Chop-chop, we're going to be late!
The reduplication mimics the rapid pace being demanded.
It derives from a Chinese Pidgin English phrase and retains a slightly colonial or imperious tone, though it's now used playfully in casual speech.
