Professional TeacherVou sair, vou num pé e volto no outro.
When someone goes out to do something really fast we say that "Vou num pé e volto no outro." Literally could mean "I will go out walking on a foot and come back walking on the other."

Eu diria "in a second".

Estava pensando qual expressão idiomática em inglês seria a mais parecida com "Ir num pé e voltar no outro", talvez "in a heartbeat" ou "at the drop of a hat", o que você acha?
Existe também "in the blink of an eye" mas nós usamos a mesma expressão "num piscar de olhos".
