As someone who's currently working on completing the European GameBoy Colour collection, I go for the game, manual and case. Also those rooms with the blue blobs need to be made into a memorable moments lmao.
"couple" has so many different connotations and uses, i think it's fair to say it means more than two. so many people use couple as a synonym to "some" or "bunch" that even if it meant two at some point, it clearly doesn't anymore lol
Agreed, as context is king when it comes to language. A couple of people usually means 2, but time throws everything off, a "couple of seconds" has basically never meant just 2 seconds, if I asked someone to "wait a couple of minutes," and they show up 120 seconds later on the dot, I'd be annoyed but if they ask where am I after five minutes I'd understand. If I say something will take a couple of hours, it's usually closer to one or one and a half hours than two. Also, for things that a commonly found in groups, it's easy to mean more. If I say "they're building a couple of houses over there," I'd mean anywhere from 2 to 4.
Some very memorable reactions from Stephen during this one!
Fusion is kinda mean and i LOVE it
A couple is two.
A few is three.
Several is an indeterminate amount!
(Born and raised in MO, by the way)
agreed

If you called somebody a couple, would you think that relationship had 3 people in it???

oof, session 4 has some bad eye strain going on. But some of my fave segments around here!
Having had very intense discussions about this with my family many times, I will say that a couple is two.
