Time And A Word - " Dreckly " !!
Don't hold your breath - if a Cornishman says he will do it " Dreckly " it will get done , but who knows how long it will take . The term " Dreckly " is some what like Manyana is in Spainish .
The term "dreckly" means at some point in the future; soon, but not immediately. It is often used in a casual context to indicate that something will be done directly, but without a specific time frame, implying it may take a while. For example, someone might say, "I'll do it dreckly," meaning they will do it soon, but not right away.
So time plays a big part in this phrase - literally !!
