"A little bit ago"

Is that a weird phrase? Do you know other people who say that?

Threaded | Flat

I hear it frequently in the south.

Have heard and said it.

I'm Southern, and I hear (and say) it all of the time.

I say it. I'm from the south, though, sooooo, we say stupid stuff. lol

We southerners have many quaint phrases and that's definitely one of them.

I don't think I say it, maybe I do, I dunno, but I've heard people use it and it doesn't sound weird to me.

*raises hand* lol

I use it quite a bit. But then, we western-PA people have some very odd words/phrases from what I understand. lol

Honey, i say it all the time.
:)
*smooch*

Yes, indeed. We hear such all the time, down here in Texas.

For example:

#1 "When did you hear that? She'd have told me first!"

# 2 "Calm down; she just found out she was pregnant a little bit ago."

A little bit ago = a little while ago.

We also say, "A long while ago," in Texas, and I know that is common all over.

For example: "Oh dear, I met him, a long while ago, too far to count." Very common expression in my world, matching "a long while ago" and "too far to count."

I'm sure I've both heard and said 'a little bit ago.'

When you stop to really think about it, it does sound slightly odd, but that's true of a lot of phrases.
