Ivy! I need you to stack those boxes! It needs to be done pronto!
But you told me that sweeping under the steel needed to be done pronto. Which is it?
The boxes need to be done pronto-pronto. How's that?
So "pronto" means "eh," while "pronto-pronto" means "better hop to it," and I'll take a wild gander and say "pronto-pronto-pronto" means "or else."
Got it.
Call me when it gets to the pronto level that means "Not Doing It Will Cause The Universe To Collapse In On Itself."
