Levis Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 multigrain bread with tomatoes, ricotta, feta and olives - because you can never have enough salt. Also I think I earned it after walking 10kms today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 If I ever need to rapidly put on lots of weight, remind me to just write a couple of essays. I'm ploughing through bags of crisps and bars of chocolate to relieve the boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 A couple of beers. Now I'm kinda tipsy. Don't let girls order drinks for you, they'll buy beer instead of cider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Still, I hope by two beers you're talking about two pints of stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I use 'a couple' the same way as 'a few'... it doesn't really mean two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I've got to defend Fin on this one... if beer usually lived together in a monogamous relationship, or if beer generally were coming in pairs, THEN I would think that "a couple" means two since that's not the case - it's clear to me that "a couple" means "a few" if I'd say "a couple of friends are coming over tonight" I wouldn't necessarily mean that it's only two of them either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 It might be three AT A STRETCH, but once you go past four or five you're at 'a few'. To me 'a couple' is not necessarily 2.0, but in the vicinity of that number ranging from 1.5 to 2.5, maybe 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be five and I'd still say a couple... it's like some or a few, it's just not 'a lot'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 jup... in German we have the same, but easier: "a couple" = two is "ein Paar" "a couple" = a few is "ein paar" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 How do you distinguish the two when talking aloud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 the same way you distinguish between the two meanings of "couple" - context (seeing a guy you know with a girl you don't) "are these two a couple?" - "no - they're four" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
