two cups

Half a quart

Two cups is a measurement equal to one pint or sixteen fluid ounces, common in cooking and baking recipes: Add two cups of flour.

The phrase also describes a bra size, typically on the smaller end of the spectrum.

In casual speech, two cups may simply mean a pair of drinking vessels or servings: I've already had two cups of coffee this morning.
