Default What are the most ridiculous commonly used phrases you've heard?
"I don't give a rat's ass" is a pretty strange one that I hear a ton

There's a lot of British or international-based phrases I find so ridiculous too.

I was like WTF when I first heard "Don't take the piss out of me"

Yeah it's strange how so many people are accustomed to saying this

I think people just get confused with the "care less" part somehow... plus it's a bit smoother to say "I could care less" than "I couldn't care less"

I asked an American friend at University about this (as I knew he was a clever guy who would get that the grammar was wrong), and his explanation was that it was originally meant to be sarcasm. Like "Oooooh. I could care less " (Like "Oh wow I totally care about this")

I don't know if he was right but it does make SOME sort of sense then at least

When people incorrectly say "I could care less" instead of the correct term "I couldn't care less".
