名詞: n.
A modern expression implies that you would do something immediately.

--"Go on a date with Viggo?" --"I'd do that in a New York minute."

Johnny Carson once described a New York Minute as being the time it takes "From the (traffic) lights to turn green, till the guy behind you starts honking his horn". During the late 1980s crime wave, David Letterman defined a New York minute as the length of time it took to be mugged in New York City.
A New York minute may be compared to the idea of Internet time, and contrasted with that of a country mile (which is informally described as much greater than a regular mile).
There is also a song titled "In A New York Minute" by U.S. lyricist Fran Landesman and U.K. composer Simon Wallace, also sung by Don Henley of the Eagles.
