  up until like a year or so ago i thought that 'a couple' just meant 'a few' rather than specifically meaning two
  
  i used it that way for 20 odd years and nobody either noticed or bothered to correct me

  Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.

  a couple can mean both "just two" or "a few"

  I used to use "guy" as a gender-neutral term.
  
  I still use "dude" as a gender-neutral emphatic, in fact.

  "Eh, it's a slight drizzle" = "It's chucking it down with rain"
