For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
a couple always means two.
every time anyone says “a couple”, i ask them if they mean two. it’s not pleasant exchange for either of us, but it must be done
There’s a word for if you mean exactly two: two.
There are multiple words that describe numbers.
Couple, pair, and two are all words that describe the number 2.
Disagree. I’ve always understood it to mean approximately two. Usually 2-3; 4 isn’t outlandish.
Unless that’s the meaning, the expression doesn’t have a reason to exist. So that’s how I decide to interpret it.
