Aw come on, those are two very different meanings of the word in my book. As it happens, the couple of eggs I took out of the fridge aren’t in a romantic relationship.

Disagree. I’ve always understood it to mean approximately two. Usually 2-3; 4 isn’t outlandish.

Unless that’s the meaning, the expression doesn’t have a reason to exist. So that’s how I decide to interpret it.

I’m gonna be representative of the idiots here and ask:

I don’t get the difference. Please help.
