A hyper-local British intensifier from Chester, England, meaning "greatly" or "very much." When something impresses you way beyond a little, it impresses you above a bit. It's the kind of old-school regional expression that locals use with pride — deeply understated on the surface but packing genuine emphasis underneath. Think of it as the Chester equivalent of "quite a lot" cranked up several notches. Rare outside its home region, but charming wherever it travels.
