I think "after a while" is technically correct, but "in a while" is the first thing that popped in my head, so I chose that

You should have a question about dialect of English or region of the world so we can see who says which one

I honestly can't remember what I used to say. They both kinda sound right after I said them in my head. Pretty sure it's number two.

The knowledge that there are potentially people who say "after a while, crocodile" sickens me
Literally never heard anyone say ‘in awhile’. Maybe it’s regional?
I think it might be. This post originated from a discussion between me and my girlfriend. She says "after a while" and I say "in a while". We're from the Southern US and Canada, respectively.
That’s interesting because I’m from Western NY, so you’d think I would be on your team lol
And for me it's the complete opposite. In 29 years I've never heard anybody say "in a while".
