three

When using 'three' as an adjective to describe something (like a "three-legged stool"), we usually add a hyphen between the number and the noun it describes. In casual conversation, people often use 'three' to refer to a small, unspecified group of things or a short period of time.

💡
Chloe uses the phrasal verb 'blow through', meaning to spend money quickly and wastefully. The number 'three' is central as it defines the specific amount of the debt being contested. Leo responds with 'boomer', a slang term used by Gen Z to mock someone for being out-of-touch or overly strict, despite Chloe not actually being old.
