with a quickness
In a flash
With a quickness means quickly, with speed and urgency.
The phrase adds emphasis beyond simply saying "quickly," suggesting immediacy or hustle: You better get over here with a quickness.
Common in informal American speech, especially African American Vernacular English, it often carries a note of warning or command: Clean that up with a quickness before Mom gets home.
