I had this discussion at work a few days ago. I think most of us "normal" folks would agree that a "couple" means 2 in 99% of cases. But how many is a "few"? "Can you hand me a few of those?" "I'm going out with a few friends tonight." "I need to go get a haircut in the next few days!" Is it subjective? Does it depend on the topic or conversation? Just curious.
