Just wondering...

Growing up in southern PA, everyone I knew used "a couple" to mean the same thing as "a few." Though it could be used to mean "two," it was never associated *only* with that number.

When I moved to Mass, I encountered a strange phenomenon. Whenever anyone said "a couple," they meant two. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this.
