: This would be ok if te sentence was more formal. As it is a slang it doesn't translate in the same standard.// Yes the idea is similar but the essence isn't as you have changed the style. Good Sunday too.

It could also be "Right off the bat" ( to be more on the slangy side) or something to that effect. But you may be right...it's a bit formal though. But the translation is definitely correct. Have a good Sunday!
