right quick

In a jiffy

Right quick means very soon or immediately, with a Southern or rural American flavor.

It's an emphatic way of saying quickly: Get over here right quick, I'll be back right quick.

The phrase doubles down on urgency—right intensifies quick the way it does in right now or right away.
