Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"Already" is often used after a word or sentence to imply urgency or impatience. In this video, the speaker has used it casually to show that he is impatient for Rachel to start serving dessert. Ex: Can you hurry up already? I've been waiting for so long. Ex: Just tell me already. What's the big secret?
