I think 5 is considered "a few" by most, even hair-splitters such as
yourself.
Each person has their own definition. If you want to split hairs, you need
to use a more precise term. To me, "a few" is generally three, while I'd
use "several" for five or more.
If you check Websters it says a small number of units. Five is a small
number.
In any case, the real question is how much before you stall will the horn go
off. It goes off much longer than a second before you stall the wing.
[...] but these have been called "full stall landings" since before I was
born so that is good enough for me.
As long as you understand that you are not actually stalling the airplane,
that's fine. Use whatever inaccurate terminology you like.
I understand that I'm stalling the wing, not the airplane.
