The "I could care less" ZOMG thread!!!!

[a-dev]

Man, I don't think this thread is going along, as a-dev would have hoped

I was anticipating a lot of 'care less' jokes so its actually exactly as I imagined it so far.

There isn't going to be as many genuine 'I could care less' posts throughout the forum as there is 'badboys' so this'll be less active than that thread for sure.

I'm sure it'll grow with time. Anyways...

I could care less if it's limited or not. It's a flag ship piece and I want it. haha

 

[a-dev]

You have done well Solidus

 

[The Ween]

I could care less about caring more... which implies caring less. I think?



There's an error in your post. Fix it!

I couldn't care less to do so.

Found another one! From the 1/6 Keaton Batman thread.

Dude did you even read my post or did you just stop at the price. I could care less if I sold the thing! Check my feedback, I don't have any! I was just trying to help a guy out. Before you offer anything to me, of which has no value in regard to getting the guys problem fixed, maybe you should take it upon yourself to research what these heads are going for, find one, and try to help him out as well?

Maybe these aren't so uncommon after all .

Grammar doesn't matter here. It's all in the semantics, my friend

Idioms & Phrases

couldn't care less

Also, could care less . Be completely indifferent. For example, Pick whatever dessert you want; I couldn't care less, or I could care less about the editor's opinion . This expression originated about 1940 in Britain and for a time invariably used couldn't . About 1960 could was occasionally substituted, and today both versions are used with approximately equal frequency, despite their being antonyms.

Its weird isn't it. It amazes me that people say it and don't look at the words and realise they are effectively saying the opposite of what they intend. Kind of like the way some people refer to a ''refuge bag'' when the spelling is quite clearly, and without ambiguity, ''refuse''. When is an 's' ever pronounced as a 'g'

Makes you wonder if anyone has ever taken refuge in a refuse bag .

I can't imagine it'd be a very effective place in which to take refuge. Most refuse bags wouldn't be big enough for an adult for one thing.

I just posted an 'I couldn't care less' rant in the HT mandarin thread

 

[Cap'n Cook]

*From a SKIMAN thread-patent*

That funny scenario in which a phrase becomes misappropriated by someone, somewhere at some point in time and somehow that

INCORRECT​

way of saying it becomes more commonplace than the correct way of saying it.

I challenge you to scour the forum and be ever watchful for this mistake. Let them feel terrible shame all those who have

FAILED​

to notice how their sentence conveys almost the opposite of what they intended because of the omission of one tiny little 3 character word - register their posts here in this thread.

I shall start us off with not one, but two such instances this night:

Awesome and BANG ON man.

 

[The Ween]

I say it all the time. It's common around here.

You should do one about alot.

Also, for the longest time when I was younger I used to say "For all intensive purposes..."

 

[karamazov80]

You know, you could care very little about what someone says, yet still be able to care less about it. Maybe what these guys are really saying is, "I could care less. . .but it wouldn't be easy to do so." That is to say, I could care less. Like someone saying, well I could just walk 10 miles to the grocery store instead of driving.

Poor, misunderstood boardies. And to be judged so harshly by T2 fans, no less. . .

Very....defensive..seeming there Kara. Anything you need to confess?

You really could just go on and on with all this stuff. Like I said before, the main ones I see on this board are people using noone instead of no one and also misspelling tongue a lot. Also misspelling moron.

Honestly, I couldn't care less though.

Probably the way it's being pronounced is wrong as well. I can't remember the last time I've said the word but I honestly wouldn't have batted an eye at the misspelling.

Y'know what gets my nazi-grammar goat?

When people use 'literally' as an intensifier, ie "it was literally amazing".

er, you mean it was really amazing. There really is nothing literal about it.
