Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast, number 1,156.

How are you today?

It is for you.

It's going to be Friday.

Yeah, Friday, July 25th, 2025 is the publication of this podcast.

We got such a great expression. But do you have any idea what it

means? Listen carefully. I'll say it. All right. Here we go. Lickety split. Should I spell it for you?

Okay. L-I-C-K-E-T-Y. Lickety split, S-P-L-L-I-T. There's a hypo-C-K-E-T-Y-L-T. There's a hyphen. Check out the dialogue.

Where are you going?

Starbucks.

We need you in five minutes.

I'll be back, lickety split.

So something's happening.

Two guys are having a conversation.

One guy is leaving and the other guy says,

where are you going? And the guy says, Starbucks, okay, going to get some coffee, I guess.

But the other guy says, we need you in five minutes. I don't know, maybe there's a presentation or something, right? Something's happening. Maybe there's a meeting that starts in five minutes. We need you in five minutes. Where are you going? You can't go anywhere now. We need you now. Like, well, in five minutes. Are you going to go pee? That's okay. The guy says he's going to Starbucks. And then he said, I'll be back. Lickety Split. What do you think it means?

Lickety split. Have you been to Starbucks, the coffee shop? Yeah. If you go to Starbucks and you

order a coffee, if it's just like a regular black coffee, like nothing special, then you'll get your coffee, like, really fast,
