It's in the colour menu. Unsurprisingly. :P

Is there a word in any language for a vague numerical amount between "a couple" and "a few"?
I think I would like to adopt such a word into my vocabulary if it exists.

two words: "four" and "five" :P

@Yoink
It might be possible to use "a very few".  Or maybe "Just a few" or "Only a few".  It all depends so much on context, and "a few" can easily mean 2.  Or 9000, depending on the amount of items.

Funnily enough where I'm from he two words actually have a bit of overlap colloquially here. :P Around where I live "a couple" is used colloquially as meaning 2-3 (maybe 4) in the vast majority of it's uses (it still can be used to mean strictly 2 if you are speaking more formally, of course), while "a few" covers everything from 3 up to around 7 (at which point "several" takes over).

In my experience "a couple" means two, except possibly when you have a *huge* data set.  But it pretty much means two even then.

People often argue about the meaning of "a couple", and language is fluid so there's no absolute right.

As I pedantically pointed out, only if you're assuming it's "between x and y *exclusive*"

Technically you could say that there is a bit of Russia between UK and mainland Russia, aka Kaliningrad.

But that's just me confusing people, nevermind me.

I would've used "in the range of" if I wanted to mean inclusive, or some other similar construct, "in between" is usually exclusive in english AFAIK

Then no, because being an integer precludes being greater than four and less than five. :P
