If somebody is like "give me a couple of Skittles" you don't just give them 2 Skittles.

But if somebody said "I'm bringing a couple of pizzas" I would expect them to show up with two.

Two people is a couple

Why wouldn't mean two for everything else?

As a noun, it refers to two people who are together

As an adjective, it can refer to 2-3 people imo

Don't be ridiculous. That's very clearly incorrect.

However, according to some people in this thread you could bring 3 of your girlfriends, no problem.

Couple means 2 you dingdongs (not directed at marth but at people saying 3 or 4 could also mean couple). That's literally what the word means.

Depends on context.

"They are a couple of weirdos" can refer to a married couple (2 people).

"There are a couple of weirdos" can refer to a random small group of people. But the group has to be a minority, I think.
