A couple or three is when you're too lazy to count, but you're not too lazy to brag about it later.

My brother said, 'A couple or three people came over,' and now there are 7 people and 2 fights.

My mom said, 'Only a couple or three friends showed up,' and now I'm stuck with 5 of them and a broken couch.

My neighbor said, 'A couple or three kids came over,' and now my yard looks like a war zone.
