in a New York minute

Everybody knows New York is a pretty hectic city where people are pretty much running around all the time. In big cities like that, it seems time works differently. Every second counts and everything happens at a faster pace, unlike small cities where the time is slow and things are quiet.

That's why it's easy to understand the expression I have for you today: in a New York minute. When you do something in a New York minute, it means you do it very quickly, almost instantly. So imagine you have a friend who's daring you to go talk to the prettiest girl at the party and get her phone number. He thinks you would never have the guts to do that, but you consider yourself a very confident person. So you say; I'd get her phone number in a New York minute.

That's all for today guys. Talk to you next time!
