I did, and that's exactly why I felt the need to ask, since there doesn't seem to be a proper definition.
It also depends on the context, as is explained in the example given for the usage of few.

A few < 10
Several >= 10
Several >= 10
Just had an argument about setting up incorrect expectations by using "a few".
Thoughts?
