The glass is twice as large as it needs to be.

for me, it's "the beer tap is over there - another fiver and you can refill it."

some resources are replenishable if your willing and able to pick up the tab.

Exactly. There aren't just two choices. Yours is one of the classic responses, as is "the glass has 6 dB of headroom". I hadn't heard "needs more ice" (mentioned in another comment below) but that works too.

Folks just get lazy and stop listing 'em at two. Or even lazier and stop thinking at two...

That's an engineer answer, if ever I heard one. ;>

My response is usually: The glass is always full. The question is "Of what?"
