When something isn't quite large and it isn't quite big. This phrase should be used only as a last resort.

A lifestyle motto to describe and excuse one’s days of spontaneity, humor, and a dash of eccentricity. It’s about building on quirks, taking risks, and turning ordinary moments into memorable, laughter-filled adventures. While typically driven by humor, can also stem from pure irony and playful shock value.
Person 1: Why are you always planking on trashcans and doing the weirdest things like brushing your teeth in the kitchen?
Person 2: I live for the bit.
Person 1: Oh, that checks out.

A bit is a quick to sometimes medium length (If it's really funny or you get too carried away) joke, act, gesture, character performance, or anything you can do which is out of the normal for a reserved personality or formal conduct, intended to be humorous or to spice up a social setting.
Examples of bits include, but are not limited to:
Pretending a slow moving car is going to run you over, lying down and declaring "It's all over! Kiss me gently Angel of Death!"
When asked if you are a racist, and are comfortably not a racist, you put on a smug face anyway, raise an eyebrow and say "Yes".

"Bro are you actually a fan of Ben Shapiro?"
"No, but if I shill for him he pays me in sexual favours!"
"Wait really?"
"Nah man It's just a bit lol"
