sidewinder Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I don't give a flying fuck. I don't give a rat's ass. I could give two shits. When you think about this one though, it could go either way. Shit is worth nothing. I care so little, I would give you SHIT! not just one, but two! No you're right it makes more sense the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tv_party Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 could care less could still work if sarcastic/ironic usage is considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vodor Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 all languages and dialects are just shadows of the Platonic ideal, so this sort of nitpicking is rather frivolous don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thief Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Never understood how people get the could/couldn't confused. Such simple, blatant logic. I gave up trying to figure out why people would say they could care less, I put it down to people just saying the phrase (because it sounds smart or something?) without thinking about what the words actually meant.

jules Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 It's cool that you could be the shit but not give a shit even if you just shit on your shit while the shit hit the fan that was hot as shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylonbitch Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 simply, a) "i couldn't care less" : it is not possible for me to care less than i do because i do not care at all. b) "i could care less" : it is still possible for me to care less, because i care, at the very least, a little. phrase b is semantic nonsense in the context it is normally used. lol america. suggestion for modification of said phrase for the purposes of actually making sense: "i could care less, but it wouldn't be easy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taxman Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 wow did you come up with that yourself? or did you watch the video and decide to reiterate everything it just said? whatever, i don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'd guess he didn't watch the video and just powered through with reiterating it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylonbitch Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 didn't watch the video. i can come to my own conclusions about the misuse of language, thanks. also, i love how the anonymity of the internet creates such a universal platform for being a narky bitch for no real reason.

colunga Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I agree with this. Although I always felt that "holding down the fort" was using both military tactic (as said in the vid) and like "keep the situation handled until I get back" "Hold it down. Don't let shit get out of control." "Stay on top of it. Hold it down." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hautlle Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I now claim all rights to the English language. I'll be expecting payment in full by the first of July 2010. Payment of 1/10 of a british pound sterling per 100 words spoken shall suffice. My paypal is hautlle at gmail dot com. If you do not comply, prepare to face the dire consequences.

Guest leprechaun Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I heard "I could care less" come out of my mouth the other day. I immediately stopped and corrected myself, but I guess it's ingrained in some of us 'mericans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
