What is dreckly?
Literally translated as 'directly', as in 'soon'. Used increasingly across the West Country to describe an as-yet undetermined moment in the future. In Cornwall, it is more of a one-word zen-like way of life.

Lowen: "Oh, I'll get to it dreckly. Probably this weekend when I have some free time."
