quickie

Done in haste

A quickie is something done hastily—most often sex, but also a quick drink, a brief meeting, or any rushed activity: We only have time for a quickie.

The word carries a casual, slightly playful tone.

As an adjective, quickie describes something brief or expedient: a quickie divorce, a quickie wedding in Vegas.
