This phrase bothers me. Is it grammatically correct?
Is the phrase, "a little bit ago" gramattically correct? Example: "When did you finish your test?" "A little bit ago." I can't stand when people say that. Shouldn't it be "a little while ago"?

'A little bit ago' is grammatically fine; it is merely the casual English equivalent of 'a little while ago'.
