Couldnt care less

Could care less makes NO SENSE? if you could care less then its obviously not that big of a problem, as theres more things that would bother you lol

That makes sense to me.

'I couldn't care less' is definitely correct grammatically and correct for the way it is used.
Although, I could care less could be a full sentence too.
If someone asked 'are you not really bothered?'
You could reply 'I could care less,' meaning you do care slightly...

I've always thought it was derogatory term for children, but it isn't.

Did you mean 'precocious'?

It is a term for children, but it's not necessarily an insult. Although, I would use it more in an insulting manner. I'd be more likely to say 'precocious little brat!' But really it just means that they're old before their time. I think people tend to use it more about kids who are a bit too smart-mouthed for their own good. lol

I've never heard that. I think a lot of these words are used in different ways depending on the area you live.
