Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Why the fuck have people started saying this? Is it an american thing? "I couldn't care less" - means exactly that; you don't care one bit. But people say "I could care less" when they mean the former, when what they are saying is that they care. Why the fuck?!

che Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I agree with you. Although to be honest, I've never heard someone in the UK say that..I think it says that somewhere in my sig. But it's Green Day, and so American. And what can you expect from a country who drops letters to make spelling easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaya Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 nah i agree-it's stupid,i've heard people say it a few times now and just thought so you do care then. makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charity Case Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Its quite simple, "i could care less" implies that you care about it but there are things which you care less about. For example "I could care less about money but i cannot care less about family". Its like a heirachichal system, family, clothing for warmth, money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
