“I could care less* when people mean they could NOT care any less.
By saying they could care less, they are stating that they are capable of caring less than they already do.
By saying *I could NOT care less* it means there is no chance of any possibility of me caring less about something than I already do.

When someone starts a sentence with “To be honest with you....”, you know they aren’t being honest with you.

Now listen up everybody. If you say “it goes without saying” then you best not actually say it because it really pisses me off when you do. Looser.

MY BAD Absolutely infuriates me whenever I hear it, and frequently from otherwise "intelligent" people. Where in the hell did that abomination ever come from. It makes no sense no matter how you parse it.
I assume it's a Negro Dialectic piece of garbage that was foisted on us.
