What is the meaning of “go for something right about now?”

I happened upon it at anatomy and pheniology crash course. I have done my best to get it. Well, the idea gets back to me so I can do it once again. Is your phrase about 6 minutes from 30 seconds complete? And speaking of what

and where your taste buds really are, you know what I could go for right now? What is the actual debunking of a fact?

What does the word have to mean?

Particularly when referring to times, about can mean “nearly; almost”. If I say, “I’ll be there at about three o’clock,” then I am not promising to arrive at exactly three:00, but I will be there not too long before or after three.”

Why can ‘right now’ not mean ‘at this moment in time’? What does it feel like to be very soon? Also feel like it is not as urgent as doing a daily life. And although the word has a fairly informal register, it mixes an intensifying word (right) with a word that soften the intensity (about), which is a bit logically contradictory. In formal writing, you probably wouldn’t see this phrase.

What do English speakers just about now mean? I’ll use informality more. What else would you suggest I use.

But the English expression “just about” is often used with a small pause in it: right about… …now!

Of late, the vowel in about will be drawn out as well. What happens to a speaker who knows something will happen in just a few seconds? They say “right aburuuuuut…” to signify the “very soon,” and then shout, “now!” when the thing actually happens.
