whipping up
Hastily preparing something
Whipping up means preparing something quickly, usually food: I'll whip up some eggs for breakfast.
The phrase suggests casual speed rather than careful effort.
It extends beyond cooking to anything produced rapidly: She whipped up a presentation in twenty minutes.
To whip up enthusiasm or support is to generate it energetically, often with intent to stir emotion: Politicians whip up fear to win votes.
