That means you DO care about something when you are trying to convew that you don't. Surely, the correct term is "I couldn't care less" So that you cannot possibly care less about a certain subject than you already do. Forgive me if I am wrong or confused, but wtf.

That has completely NOTHING to do with what I was talking about :/ I disagree.  What is being asked is why people say something that has no basis on what it means.  When in fact such a large groups says it it is obviously slang.  So speaking of dialects, true it is in a much broader spectrum, is in fact relevant to the topic at hand.  Haha, I enjoy making myself seem smarter than I am.  It's entertaining.

I had this exact that either today or yesterday. It goes along with how many people think 'I had nothing better to do' is an insult.  And in many cases it can be... but can't it also be... "out of everything I could have done, this was the best!"... On another note... please explain the phrase, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."  Why would I want the cake in the first place if I couldn't eat it? Hmm...

Me, too lol. starularcircles Posted at 9:31 pm on July 3, 2009 i say couldnt. some people just miss the "nt" part. ElectricLadyFlash Posted at 9:31 pm on July 3, 2009 THANK YOU!

Forgive me if I am wrong or confused, but wtf. every language and cultue has stupid stuff like that.

Kaijuu Posted at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 I know it's so annoying I'm american but I say I couldn't care less clavicle Posted at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 i've seen more than just americans do that. Aria of Silence Posted at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 The english language is a very confusing thing. techfreak15 Posted at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 Because "Don't care" is shorter. TechnoShark Posted at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 I think I've heard this argument before. I say "I couldn't care less" or "Shut the fuck up" Most recent 15 of 27 previous replies displayed.
