If you check Websters it says a small number of units. Five is a small
number.


My point is that "a few" is undefined with respect to a real number. If you
want someone to interpret your statement of "a few" with other than THEIR
definition, you need to be more specific. It is useless to come back later
and redefine it for them.

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.


Now you're just being an ass; "stalling the airplane" is the same as
"stalling the wing". In any case, you are not stalling the wing either.
