Derek™ Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Sorry, No. 'I could care less' is just wrong. The reason everyone (myself included) gets so irate about this is because everyone uses it when they actually mean the opposite. I've not heard one instance of someone actually using 'I could care less' accurately. Thank you. I could definitely care less about this grammatical debate every time that it surfaces, but I just can't help myself. tomfiend and monsterrod 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 so when someone says whether or not they could care less, you simply know they're wrong because you don't like it.. is that what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I thinks it's a thing with people my age but when people refer to their S/Os as "Bae" How about when girls refer to their man as "my guy"? I've noticed older loose cougar-esque woman say this often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 All you fucking obsessive grammarians should just use newspeak since you require such rigid and "proper" laws about the way people talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Nah. Has nothing to do with proper grammar. It's more of a logic issue. It's like someone using a double negative but actually meaning something positive. It just doesn't work. And like it's been said above, it's improperly used in a negative connotation 99% of the time. I'd have zero problem hearing "could care less" if that's actually what people meant when they used the expression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 So you understand what is being said and the idea is brought across successfully, but you don't like it because you don't like the way the words are arranged. Ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeMoreGlass Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Love this fucking thread! How about when people put an "r" in wash...like "I have to go warsh my hands" or "backare" ...like "he lives backare in the woods" I think it is just from being in my shitty place of work for so long I am just so fucking sick of hearing it... Also, as a vegan I hate when motherfuckers ask about my protein... I've got it fucking covered you condescending shitheads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as a vegan I hate when motherfuckers ask about my protein... I've got it fucking covered you condescending shitheads... I used to have a friend that added a "R" to almost every word he would say. It drove me fucking insane. Finally one day i asked him if he chewed lead paint chips as a kid and he didn't understand why i would say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbbrew22 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 When people comment "first" just to be the first person to comment on something, and even better, when they comment "first" and their comment ends up being second or third. Is this what Internet fame is coming to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Also, as a vegan I hate when motherfuckers ask about my protein... "You're a vegan?! Oh no! I could never do that.

FangsAnalSatan Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 "I'm so OCD!" You don't have OCD and chances are you don't have a clue about how tough it is for people that really have OCD. I seriously hate this. It actually infuriates me. You're not OCD because you like to keep your desk organized, you're just anal retentive. All you're doing is diminishing people who do have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I've had friends attempt suicide over not being able to handle their OCD, it's not something to be thrown around lightly. ATM machine. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE 'M' STANDS FOR YOU DULLARD!!!

"Can you eat this?" I always say "I can eat anything I want...I just choose not to" Some lady asked me about my protein at work the other day and I printed out 6 different articles about vegetable protein and whatnot and about 3 articles on the calcium myth and how drinking milk does nothing at all but make us fat...she about shit her pants...haha I was like "yeah bitch...I know what I'm doing."

Princess Logan Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Okay, this topic has had me thinking a lot about things I can't stand when people say. I realized that not a lot of speech bothers me, except for "orgasmic" and "foodgasm" like Nicole pointed out. This lead me to realize that one thing that does REALLY get under my skin...is when people make sex noises while eating food. There are many ways to express that your food tastes good, moaning is not one of them. I toured with a guy who ALWAYS did this when he ate. It was easily one of the worst things I have ever experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds really awkward, though. Did he do that facetiously, or were his tastebuds making him legitimately moan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
