If you're told something's going to happen in a few days, how many days would you reasonably expect this to be? I want to know whether I'm just really impatient.

is that how long the doctor gave you?
Yes.
Yes it is....
:(
just be patient
it'll come eventually..
no pun intended
OR WAS THERE?
are you ok mr jug?
i haven't seen you in ages :(
A few = 3 - 5
a couple = 2
see you in "a bit" = 5 - 7 days
"a while" = 7+ days
"around"/"later" = indefinite
a bit is like within 1 hour shirley.
62
probably more than one
less than 20
Depends innit.
If someone said World War three, I'd expect a week or so. If it my friend saying to pay him back in a few days. I'd give it three at the most.
I always think of
"A few" to mean three or four..
After a few days
I just don't remember...
.
a few is 4.
I thought a few was 3
it is.
more than 3 is several.
More than 2 ('cos they'd have said a couple)
less than 7 ('cos they'd have said a week)
3
clearly
