How long is "A few days" ?

How long is "a few days" for you ?

My opinion is that "a few days" = 3 days

Got talking with someone that suggested it "a few days" means "less than 5 days".

Not real sure in the end how long it is.

Whats the general opinion on how long "a few days" is ?

The length of time is entirely related to which side of the toilet door you are located...

Are you trying to date a girly and wondering about the elasticity of the time frame of replying?

Or is this something bike related ...

Few days=Less then a week (unless something pops up)

Otherwise ya just say,Bout a week or so.

Less than five days sounds reasonable enough to me...

so does it mean that "a few days" = "less than 5 days" = 4 days ?

Does it depend on who says it? Car salesman, loan approvals manager etc etc? Working days ar actual days? C'mon Toto, enlighten us!

But, then you have to consider, what is menat by "day".

F'instance a day on the planet Pluto (is so to a planet - bite me), is MUCH longer than a day on Mars.

I think a day on Mercury is one year long.

It doesn't mean anything specific - that's the guts of it.

I'd personally take it to be 3 to 5. 2 = a couple of days, 1 = "a day"... moer then that but not too many
