Pronto Toronto

The Canadianized expression for In a New York Minute, Pronto Toronto means the same thing: make it snappy, chop chop, skiddaddle, hurry the hell up, shake what your mother gave you

or in a nanosecond.

Irene (stuck in a Timmy’s drive thru for 15 minutes): “I’d like a medium Dark Roast coffee, black with two sweeteners and a 12-grain bagel, toasted with light butter. And, for God’s sake, make it Pronto Toronto because I’m already late for work!”
