Something done quickly or in a hurry, often used to describe something brief or fast (like a quick question or quick task).
From 'quick' plus the diminutive suffix '-ie' (expressing informality or smallness). Popularized in informal English in the early 1900s.
The '-ie' suffix makes words feel informal and casual—compare 'movie' (from 'moving picture'), 'hankie' (from 'handkerchief'), and 'quickie'—adding it instantly makes language feel friendlier!
Sexual slang term that disproportionately carries misogynist assumptions about female pleasure, consent, and agency. Often used dismissively in contexts implying reduced female satisfaction.
Avoid in intimate contexts due to embedded gendered power assumptions. Use neutral terms like 'brief' or 'hurried' instead.
