the thing about the three musketeers (book) is that there are three musketeers (guys) and also a fourth dude who's always hanging out with them and is part of the friend group. yet he is not one of the three musketeers

#Really ‘three musketeers’ shouldnt be used to describe friend groups of three people but friendgroups of four people #but then that would require deciding which of them is the d’artagnan #alexandre dumas #the three musketeers
