It is an old southern expression, but it is rarely used these days.
I cannot find it on google or any slang dictionaries, so i knew the only information I would find would be from folks who have knowledge of this word from their life's experience.

I believe you mean "directly"
Do you really think I am that stupid?

Not necessarily, but the people using this "word" clearly are.

Why do you think that?
Can you back it up with evidence or observation?
 
It is a word created by the people at "Tiger Direct" (www.tigerdirect.com) that is supposed to embody their super fast shipping. They say, "I will ship it Tirectly to you!!!"

But I wouldn't know since I have never bought from them.

When someone mangles the commonly accepted language you can safely bet they fall into one of these categories:

a. They're disabled and can't help it.
b. They're idiots who know better but think it's cool.
c. They're too ignorant to know better.

EXACTLY!!!

Usually, it's b or c but you don't usually see group b using "words" like tirectly. They usually butcher words or phrases like "what is up?"

I agree, I've heard it used, but mostly by older southerners. They use it in place of "directly", as in "I'll be goin' to the store tirectly to get more beer."
Same here. Something the old folks say. I've said it myself on occasion. Never thought about it before.
 
I once knew someone who consistently used the word "perbatim".

"I wrote down everything the teacher said, perbatim." :roll:
 
I didn't like the tefinition at first, but when I got to the usage note, I voted "thumbs up" tirectly. :thumbsup:😀
