too expensive · excessive · more than desired or necessary
You're out shopping and spot something that's either too expensive for your budget, too flashy for your style, or just generally overkill. 🤯 Instead of a blunt 'No!', this phrase lets you politely express that it's just a bit more than you're looking for. Perfect for when you want to avoid hurting a salesperson's feelings or sound less direct. 😉
Your friend shows you a diamond-encrusted phone case that costs $5,000. Which English expression would you use to politely say it's too extravagant for you? A. That's a good deal! B. It's a bit much. C. I'm sold!
💡 **Pro Tip!** 'It's a bit much' is super versatile! You can use it not just for price (e.g., a $1,000 t-shirt 😱), but also for style (e.g., a jacket with too many sequins ✨), or even the amount of effort required for something (e.g., asking your friend to pick you up from the airport at 3 AM 😴). Its polite vagueness makes it a great all-rounder!
