just gone

Moments ago, vanished

Just gone means having departed very recently, typically within the past few minutes: He's just gone to the store.

In British usage, it also indicates a time slightly past the hour: It's just gone three o'clock.

The phrase emphasizes immediacy—whatever happened is fresh, barely in the past.
