(originally, _, Ireland, now chiefly, _, Jamaica, Trinidad) A very short time; a jiffy.

Never mind appearances; it's performance and accomplishment we're going for, and within two twos we shall have done two-thirds of the feat.

Origin: In early use attested in Irish contexts and works by Irish authors; likely spread to the Caribbean by Irish indentured servants who migrated to the West Indies (see ). Then spread further by Jamaican immigrants to Canada and the United Kingdom. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
