COULD CARE LESS, OR COULDN"T ?

[Jenn! 918]

It is so clearly logical nonsense that to condemn it for being so (as some commentators have done) misses the point. The intent is obviously sarcastic—the speaker is really saying, “As if there was something in the world that I care less about”.

I was right then!

I love when people say "for all intensive purposes"

I know!!!

I think "congradulations" for "congratulations" is the one I see most frequently on VJ.

orientated instead of oriented

mute point instead of moot point

I was 'orientated' in a massage parlor in Bangkok.

A big one for me is 'alzheimer's'. People say 'old-timers' or 'alt-timers'.

we studied the usage of 'old-timers' in linguistics as a replacement for Alzheimer's...another one is sick-as-hell-anemia for Sickle cell anemia.

I love it when people say "hampster" instead of "hamster"

Neil,

I'm not sure about that. Perhaps I could .... but I don't.

Yodrak

...

To be correct, if one could care less, then there is an implication that one cares at least something (about the topic being discussed etc).

Best wishes to all.....Neil.

peejay,

Not as appropriate as not giving a flying fu<k.

Yodrak

Would it be more appropriate to say, "I don't give a rat's *ss."?

Butterflies used to be called flutterbies until some dyslexic yank got a hold of it.

That same yank stopped putting fags in his mouth.

well i once heard a story that would explain it.

something about how the police were called to a residence because a woman was screaming and discovered a woman tied up on the bed. they also found her husband in a batman outfit.....he had dressed up and jumped from one piece of furniture to the bed but the ceiling fan hit him in the head and knocked him out.

what was he really doing? he was taking the batpole to the batcave, robin
