Country_est Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Ok we have had the funny terms used but I recently had a "discussion" with a workmate regarding numbers, ie in what order would you put the following. My list so my order is as follows 1 = 1 couple = 2 few = more than 2 less than 5 several = more than five less than dozen dozen = 12 Many = more than 12 Shed loads = lot more than 12 **** load = twice as many as shedloads. Unless talking to the missus about how many pints than all bets are off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Well if referring to the number of rabbits seen in an area I would probably go something like...... 1 or Single = 1 Couple = 2 Few = 3-4 Several = 3-5 Handful = 5-10 Dozen or so = 10-15 Bucket Load = 15-20 Shed Load = 20-50 Teeming = 50+ Regards, Axe.
