| I would you big time. |
What does it mean?
And also is it a common expression among native speakers?
Thanks. |

Is there something missing in your quote? For example, "I would owe you big time."
(If you did this favor for me, I would owe you big time. ) |

Sorry, I missed 'owe' in my early quote. Still I wonder what 'I would owe you big time.' means. Would you paraphrase it for me?
Thanks. |
