Dreckly
의미: Soon, in a while, when I get round to it (Cornwall/Devon).
'Dreckly' is Cornish/Devon for 'directly' but means almost the opposite—it implies something will happen eventually, in its own good time. 'I'll do it dreckly' means at some point, not right now. It embodies laid-back West Country attitude.
