Why we say In a jiffy.
We sometimes say "in a jiffy" when we mean "in a moment" but strictly speaking this is incorrect. There is good reason for be- lleving that "Jiffy"
comes from the word "gliff," now fallen into - disuse, which meant a
3. wifi glance or glimpse. "In a jiffy" should therefore be used to
mean in much time as iį takes to glimpse something.
