Also: Johnny-come-early
The opposite of a Johnny-come-lately. A Johnny-come-quickly is someone who is very early to catch on to a trend or stand up to an established social convention, usually the the point where they will be mocked, ridiculed, and possibly even persecuted in their own lifetime. In the end, of course, they are often proven correct, as shown by the eventual acceptance and mainstreamization of their position by Johnnies-come-lately.
While Johnnies-come lately are socially adept enough to pick up on logical cues from the world around them and adapt with the times, Johnnies-come-quickly are guided less by such rational logic and more so by an overwhelming sense of conviction in the truth of their beliefs. A Johnny-come-quickly is by definition extremely courageous because they are taking a position that is extremely unpopular.
Some examples of Johnnies-come-quickly throughout history include the the first people to posit a heliocentric solar system, the first proponents of a round earth, the first people to question the authority of the Church and of religion in general, and the first to take progressive stances on the rights of women and LGBT people.

While he faced ridicule and failure in his own lifetime, Leonardo Da Vinci’s dreams of the seemingly impossible notion of flight were eventually borne out, thus ensuring his pioneering legacy as a true Johnny-come-quickly

A PLAYER. Ladies don't waste your time. He has a line up of stupid bimbos, of whom he will always choose over you. He only wants the girls out of playboy magazines, he doesn't want your heart, just the body. It's all that matters to him. A perpetual heart breaker who could literally care less about your feelings. He absolutely does NOT want not does he know how to feel love.

A blue eyed, kind on the inside, dink on the outside Johnny. He has big ears and a reseeding hairline but sports the cutest most innocent face. ( he's rarely innocent) He can't grow hair to save his life. He's a great dad, even to kids that aren't his. He gets carded buying alcohol cuz of his baby face. He thinks he's always right and never admits his faults. He's mostly talented at everything he does (super annoying) he's super lovable and you have a hard time hating him or staying mad at him. His girlfriend usually drives a jacked up truck. She's super pretty and super easy going. He passes people off being a dumbest and that's how he was deemed "fuckin Johnny"
