"Could care less", on the other hand, is fucking stupid. Obviously, if you could care less, you do care, which means that every sentence where an American says "could care less", they actually mean, "couldn't care less", which is rather the equivalent of saying "black" every time you mean "white" just to be a confusing prick.
Let me sketch it out in black and black for you, limey: I could care less what you think.
