I'm a NZer living in Australia, some people didn't understand me saying "a wee bit *", like "it's a wee bit annoying".
I'm not very well traveled.
What about "a teensie bit"?
Saying that would probably net you a hiding

Jokingly suggesting you'd get beaten up
That's odd, we use "a wee bit *" in the USA too, not a terribly common colloquialism but still used. On second thought, maybe not lol. I do read a lot, perhaps I picked up my familiarity with the phrase from books.
really? You in the city? wee bit' used sometimes in rural areas
