NANO


Meaning of NANO in English

transcription, транскрипция: [ /nan'oh/ n. ]

[CMU: from `nanosecond'] A brief period of time. "Be with you in a nano" means you really will be free shortly, i.e., implies what mainstream people mean by "in a jiffy" (whereas the hackish use of `jiffy' is quite different -- see jiffy ).
