A couple means two. A few does not have to mean three does it?

Ive always thought a couple to be 2, and a few to be 3, although i use 'a few' for higher amounts too.

a few

A small number of persons or things. This phrase can differ slightly from few used alone, which means "not many." For example, The party was to end at eight, but a few stayed on indicates that a small number of guests remained, whereas The party began at eight, and few attended means that hardly any guests came. [Late 1200s]

If someone asked me for a few of something I'd give them 3-4.
