💡 Trivia A jiffy is a real measurement

[Beatriz9]

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll be back in a jiffy,” you were actually saying, “I’ll be back in 10 milliseconds.”

A jiffy is an actual measurement of time, referring to the length of one cycle of the computer’s system clock – about 10 milliseconds.

When used in physics, it stands for the amount of time that it takes light to travel one centimeter.
