    i love depicting language this way to decipher meaning but in reality most people don’t all abide by the same set of rigid rules that i want them to.

      • A couple: 2
      • A few: 3-4
      • A handful: 5 (because fingers)
      • A bunch: 6
      • Several: Exactly 7, always.
      • A number: 8-9
      • A whole bunch: 10 -20

      That’s about it off the top of my head.
