Great question, I'll answer it as soon as I'm back from the toilet. The second phrase is easier, the better phrase is: Anonymous If you knew me in the slightest, you'd know I would say yes. "in the slightest" is a fixed expression that we use with "to know sth/sb" The first phrase is harder, because we don't use slightly in this context.
