That's the definition I learned of "a couple", during the business of bargaining for cookies. Of course I always leaned towards the three definition.

People still look at me oddly when I use "couple" that way today. I am working on UN-learning it. Sigh.

I'm sorry, but I think xkcd has those definitions wrong. I think it would be more correct to say "Two or more" for all of them. Especially if cookies are at stake.

I sure hope a married couple does not include the "or more" qualifier. But then again for Muslims and Mormons...

It used to include those of the Jewish faith as well I understand. At least prior to the middle ages.

You can certainly couple a few cookies.
