Bit of homework means: An attractive woman.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners
bit of homework means: An attractive woman.. Register: very informal, slang. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

Bit of stuff is an old British slang phrase, now mostly obsolete, that originally described a showy, overconfident man — someone who puffed himself up, dressed flashy, and acted like he owned every room he walked into. Think of the guy at the 19th-century pub in his best waistcoat, acting large. Over time the phrase shifted meaning in some circles to refer to an attractive person, though in its documented historical use, it targeted cocky male swagger. Today it's rare and mostly heard as a period-piece expression.
