Today = stat!

Someone told me that in some parts of the US the expression Today! is used when you are telling someone to hurry up!

Is this true?

I don't think it is used in "some parts" of the US. It can be used anywhere in the US when somebody is taking too much time to do something and we are impatient. " becomes a sarcastic question.

I don't think it is used in "some parts" of the US. It can be used anywhere in the US when somebody is taking too much time to do something and we are impatient. It might especially be used when very little time is required, so asking "could you do it today?" becomes a sarcastic question.

Yes, in a rude way.

Hi,

In my experience, the only time I hear anyone say 'stat' is in hospital dramas on TV.
