My South African friend uses the phrase "just now" to mean "soon" (e.g.,
Dinner will be ready just now.). I, as an American, use the phrase to mean
"very recently" (e.g., When did it happen? Just now!). I am interested in
regional takes on this phrase (I'm from the northern Midwest). Also, what do
British/commonwealth and Australian dwellers have to say on it?
