A few = the range between several and a few
TuanTunc: I don’t know why the fuck people in America commonly use few as their go to bullshit number. Like how fucking much is a few?
Wuani (has lisp): if those silly citizens have any sense, then they should define a few as between 3-6, as a couple is 2, and several is based off seven, it means seven or more.

Wuani: TING
