Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 I think it's just extreme sarcasm, to the point the phase doesn't make any logical sense anymore. We Americans are a sarcastic lot. , " Jo Cwazy " <heartwork@c...> wrote: > I don't want to upset anyone, but I often wonder why Americans say 'I could care less' when they are really meaning they could ~not~ care less. If you could care less it means you care some - if you could not care less - it means you don't give a damn, which is what is normally being inferred by the phrase. > > Jo Quote
