dozenplus

dozenplus is a term used to describe a quantity greater than twelve. It is a straightforward addition to the common concept of a dozen, which specifically refers to the number 12. While a dozen is a precise quantity, dozenplus implies a quantity that is 12 or more, without necessarily specifying an exact higher number. It can be used informally in everyday conversation to indicate a number that is "a lot" or "more than enough" when a precise count is not important. For example, someone might say they bought "a dozenplus apples" if they bought 13, 14, or perhaps even more, but they did not count them exactly. The term is not a standard mathematical or scientific term and lacks a defined numerical value beyond being greater than 12. Its usage is typically context-dependent and relies on the listener's understanding of the speaker's intent. In some informal contexts, it might simply be a way to express a quantity that is perceived as "a good amount" or "quite a few," while still acknowledging the baseline of a dozen.
