'I could care less' annoys the hell out of me. If you could care less, that means you ****ing care, you idiot!

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
