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. |
Yes! That one bugs me too.
Another is when people say "hence why". "Hence" essentially means "that is why" all by itself, folks. When you add the "why" in there, you are then saying "that is why why". It sounds
fucking ridiculous.
