Bien tassé

Following an earlier recap of numbers from one to one hundred, here's a few more used for approximations:
deux ou trois = a couple of (two or three)
une dizaine = about ten
une douzaine = a dozen
une quinzaine = about fifteen
une vingtaine = about twenty
une trentaine = about thirty
une quarantaine = about forty
une cinquantaine = about fifty
une soixantaine = about sixty
une centaine = a bout one hundred

e.g. il doit avoir la cinquantaine = he must be around fifty
