Could NOT care less
Could NOT care less
COULD NOT CARE LESS
Words mean things, and when you misuse words and ignore what they mean, your words and those of others become simple ape grunts.
If you want to be that lazy and miss the word NOT, then at least add the phrase "But not much", and all will be well with the grammar libertarian wing of FR.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That drives me absolutely nuts when people say that they *could care less* when they mean that they could NOT care any less than they already do!
God bless you and I am stealing that, thankyouverymuch.
Indeed. Great graphic. People will still screw that particular phrase up though.

“Could care less” is simply a colloquialism. Perhaps that Freeper, eyedigress, simply acclimates to the local vernacular. It is almost like dialects, so many colloquialisms and idioms. Our daughter, a brilliant HydroGeologist, dropped her minor - Spanish - because she didn’t have time to memorize all the idioms in Spanish. I have noticed while watching Italian, German, and Spanish movies, they don’t translate word for word, due to idioms and local vernacular.
