'little bit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'harry quit pork? i must go out for a' is the wordplay.
'harry' indicates an anagram (harry can mean to attack or spoil).
'must go out' is a deletion indicator.
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'quit'+'pork'='quitpork'
'quitpork' with 'i' taken away is 'qutpork'.
'qutpork' after 'a' is 'aqutpork'.
'aqutpork' anagrammed gives 'TOP QUARK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for top quark that I've seen is " Very minor constituent".)
