    Nice one, so I guess that you’ve never said “half dozen” then, right? Because you wouldn’t want six eggs to sound like a bigger number, right?

        People say shit like “half decade” to make five years sound longer.

        What the fuck do you expect me to say to someone who comments “People say shit like “half decade” to make five years sound longer”?

          That expression is being deliberately used to make the time period sound longer. Do you not understand that people will use language in a certain way to make things sound better or worse?
