Meaning of that is a stretch a little bit
What does that mean??

Question

Answer

"That is a little bit of a stretch" or sometimes we say "That's a bit of a stretch."

We usually say that whenever somebody exaggerates something.

For example:
Person 1 says "McDonalds hamburgers are so unhealthy! They cause cancer!"
Person 2 replies: "That's a bit of a stretch."

Person 1 is right that McDonalds hamburgers are unhealthy but the exaggeration (or the stretch) happens when he says they cause cancer.

So we say "that's a bit of a stretch" when a truth (McDonald's hamburgers are unhealthy) is exaggerated (they cause cancer).

I hope that helps. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll try to explain it better. :)

Answer

"The meaning of that was stretched."  This means that a word or phrase was used incorrectly and exaggerated.  Usually a dishonest way of making something appear better than it really is.  You usually stretch a point, not a meaning.
