Mmm close, I think, an actual measurement of time.

We've got some jiffy bags in the cupboard. They're about 6 inches long. Is that it?

Quote:
The earliest technical usage for jiffy was defined by Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946). He proposed a unit of time called the "jiffy" which was equal to the time it takes light to travel one centimetre (approximately 33.3564 picoseconds).[2] It has since been redefined for different measurements depending on the field of study.[3] |
