it means that the rate of speed, as in speech, is much faster than the average person. Derived from a variety of applications. For example, packing a crate of eggs at normal pace would fill twelve eggs to a cartoon. However, if you complete the task in a faster pace, then you'd fill nineteen eggs in the same amount of time.
Therefore, more quickly than the average person. thus, the saying nineteen to the dozen. Uusally refers to speech but could also refer to speed as in vehicular.
