Cotton? Wool would be more appropriate, wouldn't it?

They got married a couple of years ago.

 

[spawn]

Wool would shrink, and I dont need to tell you that could be a problem!

A couple is two. I was being precise.

 

[spawn]

A couple? Bev and Mark are a couple... AND THERES TWO OF THEM!

 

[Southy]

But its is still not saying 2, there are people here obviously that dumb that they didn't understand couplke meaning 2

 

[Goreripper]

Yeah, it shits me when people say "a couple" and really mean "a few", but apparently this usage is legitimate:

cou·ple n.

1. Two items of the same kind; a pair.
2. Something that joins or connects two things together; a link.
3. (used with a sing. or pl. verb)
   1. <LI type=a>Two people united, as by betrothal or marriage.
   2. Two people together.
4. Informal. A few; several: a couple of days.
5. Physics. A pair of forces of equal magnitude acting in parallel but opposite directions, capable of causing rotation but not translation.
