"I'll see to that now now."
"When ?" "Now now !"

now now
a South African term we use that generally means 'soon', but can funnily enough also mean 'never', or actually just any period of time.
Example:
scenario 1:

dad: "come downstairs, theres a rugby match between the Springboks and the Sharks on!"
me: "I will be there now now!"

scenario 2:

jack: "Jill hurry up! when will you be ready?"
Jill: "I'll be ready now now!"


Now then
A phrase commonly used in northern England, it derives from Old Yorkshire dialect.

It is a phrase used for greeting, although it is laregely unknown as to why the terms "now" (meaning this instant) and "then" (meaning in the past) were put together to form another way of simply saying "hello".

Usually pronounced "Nah-then".
Example:
Now then Jack, ya doylum. How ist? Whats tha bin doin with thisen?
