This makes NO sense. I hear people saying it on tv and shows all the time, and it annoys me.

If you could care less about someone then that means that you don't fully disregard them, that you could actually care less about them, another words you still don't fully dislike or hate them.

"I couldn't care less about that bastard" is the correct phrase.


to that phrase.
Holy ****, someone who is not an idiot. This is one of my most hated phrases, along with "fixing to." Such as, "I'm fixing to get off work." No, no you are not. You're ABOUT to get off work.
