Serving Hacker Jargon to the Internet since Jan 1995.
nano /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).
Cool Jargon changes every 00:00 GMT. Please come back often.
