lickety-split/-quick (was Re: unscripted speech)

[Amy West]

I wonder if this is this related to a self-correction that I noticed
in Ray Nagin's rant on Air America. He would say "lickety-" and then
there'd be a slight pause and then say "quick" when I was expecting
"split".

I apologize if this has already been mentioned. I've had to dump some
digests unread.
