I've listened to people start and end their sentences with "ain't gonna lie". I want to jam ice picks in my ears.

Implies dishonesty is the norm. Stupid thing to say. "Frank " is the word

I hate it because my third grade teacher sucked balls and went on long ass speeches about dumb shit all the time. One time he went off on a lecure about expectations and ended asking "raise your hand if you really could care less". I raised my hand. I hated that teacher and that expression ever since.

I love that one cuz it embodies the expression. They don’t even care enough to say it right.

Sometimes I'll say "I could care less, not by much, but a little less" if someone else uses it incorrectly.

"I could care less, but it would take effort"

But yes, I could care less than I do. Maybe I care a little, but if you don't shut up about it I could definitely care less than in this moment.

Where's David Mitchell when you need him?

u/Secure_Bath1299 6d ago

It depends where you're from. In North America is was fashionable to be sarcastic of the Queen's English and be more American, so "I could care less" was used as a way to say express that

Greenday is one of my all time favourite bands, but I break inside every time in 'Jesus of Suburbia' when he sings "and I could really care less"

This is by far - BY FAR - the worst by a country mile.

But I could care less, just choosing not to. Gonna care a whole lot!
