We can define this rigorously. Let (-n,n) be some open set with the point 0. We can always find a number d smaller than n inside this open set. This number d will be sufficiently close to 0, and it will be "small". You can repeat this process infinitely many times, approaching 0 every time.

A smidge? The opposite of "a lot"? A teeny-weeny bit??
It depends on what you're talking about, actually.
