Entry text: [quote="Caspy7"]My understand and experience in US culture is that the way we use 'couple' corresponds to the German usage you described. I googled and found the definition: an indefinite small number As for "That's a good question." When someone asks me a question and I think it was good, I'll say so. I may or may not have the answer. There's a different connotation in either case of course ("That's a good question. I don't know." or "I appreciate your understanding/insight in asking.") It is also used frequently in US politics when answering questions. Start with flattery, hope they miss the fact that you don't actually give an actual answer. It's very general and can be taken in more than one way. "That's a good question and I'm glad you asked it. Somebody's got to ask it and there you go being awesome and asking it. That reminds me of <insert unrelated story>..."[/quote]
