I could care less

Published by SJ under General

Is hands down, one of the dumbest expressions in use throughout modern society. If you or anyone you know uses this expression you have a duty of care to ensure this is never said in my presence (or presents to the moronic). A swift knuckle to the jaw will be delivered on mispronunciation.

When I use this line it is usually when some niff nuff NSW/Paramatta supporter is crying to me about their shithouse team losing to the mighty Broncos for example, “I thought the Blues/Eels were hard done by tonight” I would then say “I couldn’t care less champ” notice the “COULDN’T”! I would then fire in some line like “Hope you and your loser team/s realise why you both suck. If you need help, I point you in the direction of your chests where your hearts should reside.” A witty comment ment to indicate that my mate and his team both lack heart……but that is a little off topic.

Attempts to be logical about I could care less fail. Taken literally, if one could care less, then one must care at least a little, which is obviously the opposite of what is meant. It is logical nonsense.

Some say that it is so clearly illogical that to condemn it for being so misses the point. The intent is obviously sarcastic the speaker is really saying, “As if there was something in the world that I care less about”.

I disagree with this sentiment; anyone who says “I could care less” is clearly a MORON! I could’t care less if your opinion differs.
