A couple or three is when you're lying about how many people showed up, but you're not lying enough to be called a crowd.
At the party, my mom said, 'A couple or three friends showed up,' but there were 12 people and my uncle was there.
My brother said, 'I only invited a couple or three people,' and now my house looks like a war zone.
My neighbor yelled, 'A couple or three kids came over,' and I saw 5 of them eating my lawn.
