    What it means

    Literally “without a blink of an eye.” Means without hesitation, without flinching — doing something calmly and unfazed, or brazenly without any sign of guilt.

    Vocabulary

    • mrugnięcie — a blink / a wink
    • oko — eye

    Grammar note

    'Bez mrugnięcia' uses the genitive of the verbal noun 'mrugnięcie' after 'bez.' 'Okiem' is the instrumental of 'oko' — a partitive instrumental used with body-part gestures.
