Cousins by the half dozens

A typical descriptor of the modern extended nuclear family. No longer can people claim to have dozens of cousins when average children per family rates have dropped so drastically since the baby boom era.

Vinny: Hey Joe! How was your family reunion paisano?
Joe: Hey Vinny! It was good. My nonna and aunts and uncles were all there. There was plenty of linguine left over since I got cousins by the half dozens.

Yosser's Dozen

A Yosser's Dozen is 9, three less than a standard dozen, and four less than a baker's dozen. The oldest source for the expression "Yosser's dozen" dates to the 21st century in one of Texas' largest suburban areas. Yusuf Khan was known to exclaim, "4 Dozen? That's like 36!", creating the phrase, Yosser's Dozen.

Hey dude, pass me about a Yosser's Dozen worth of eggs bro!

Oh man, I overdosed on a Yosser's Dozen of marijuana pills.

I bought a Yosser's Dozen loafs at the bakery yesterday.
