What does “Couple two three” mean
'Couple two three' is Wyoming's signature vague quantifier, meaning some indeterminate small number — usually three to five — said all in one breath as 'coupletwothree.' A Wyomingite directing you to 'a turnoff couple two three miles up the road' means roughly 'a few miles.' Used across rural Wyoming and parts of Montana, it sounds like a stutter to outsiders but is a fixed phrase to locals.
