  • is in a flash. Okay. Let's take a look the note here. If something happens in a

  • flash, it happens very quickly and immediately. All right. Let's continue.

  • Of course, the meaning alludes to the idea that a flash happens very quickly.

  • So that's what it suggests. We all know that flashes do happen almost

  • instantaneously, very quickly. We have two types of flashes. The original one is a

  • flash of lightning, so anybody ever see a flash lightning (lightning and thunder sounds ) It happens, boom and

  • then it's gone very quickly. It happens and almost instantaneously. It happens

  • immediately. So that's , that's what we say. Something could happen in a flash very,

  • very quickly. Flash and the second one of course was the flash of a traditional
