Talk about every bit

[Rollercoaster1]

We met after a long time and talked about every bit.

Is the sentence correct, and does the phrase 'talk about every bit' mean 'talked a lot'?

I don't know what you mean by We met after a long time.

Stick with talked a lot. Or you could say we talked for hours or we talked for a long time.

My friend and I met/saw each other after years (let's say after about 10 years).

You could say:

We hadn't seen each other in a long time.

You could add:

We had a lot of catching up to do.

What does 'catching up to do' mean?

If you meet up with someone for a "catch up", it means you tell each other the things that have happened and you have done since the last time you saw each other. If you have a lot of "catching up to do", it means that there is a lot of time to cover in your conversation. There will be a lot to say.

No. It's not meaningful.

Talked for ages

That works in British English. It's not impossible in the American version, but it's not very common.
