"At a (fair) lick" có nghĩa là rất nhanh chóng. 

Ví dụ
Just Eat’s revenues (doanh thu) continue to grow at a fair lick, up 28% to £717.8m in the year to 30 September, but the pace slowed in the third quarter, worrying many (khiến nhiều người lo lắng).

First of all you cannot hear them approaching, secondly they travel at a fair old lick and thirdly the riders appear to be under the misguided impression (ấn tượng sai) that there is nothing wrong with travelling the wrong way down a one way street. 

GREY GETAWAY (best price 6-1) could never get competitive on his hurdling (nhảy vượt rào) debut at Aintree, but the speed figure of that competitive affair suggested those at the front end were going at a fair lick and although today’s contest is certainly going to be no stroll in the park (không dễ dàng), he might just have the requisite ability and knowhow to make a bigger impact this time around.
