"IN THE NICK OF TIME"
Means just at the critical moment, just in time, not too late but very close!
Example: I got to the pharmacy just in the nick of time. It's a good thing because I really need this medicine.
Justo a tiempo.
- I almost missed the train but I got to the station just in the nick of time / Ya casi perdía el tren, pero llegué a la estación justo a tiempo.
- The doctor arrived in the nick of time, the patient's life was saved / El médico llegó justo a tiempo, la vida del paciente se salvó.
Additional examples:
- I reached the airport in the very nick of time and made my flight.
- We got there just in the nick of time; a minute later and she'd have left.
