@stupidlittlegenius: Stop saying 'I could care less' when you literally don't care at all. You really mean ‘I couldn’t care less’.😭 Turns out the version everyone loves to hate started in America as a fossilised 1960s sarcastic joke that completely lost its original meaning. Which side are you on: British logic or theatrical sarcasm? #linguistics #englishlanguage #etymology #LearnOnTikTok #historytok

Sometimes I see people try and “defend” it by saying “well what if I could care less” then the phrase is completely redundant. Meaningless.

Could you make a video about how the Irish language was died down to “speaking English with a weird accent”? I hate how it was died down so much!(since I’m Irish and American)

oh, i thought it meant the other way around—"i couldn't care less" meaning you're simply too interested to be able to care less 😭

I could care less is careless and don’t care since it’s not careless.

Why don't you talk about the phrase "you can't have your cake and eat it too" when the original was "you can't eat your cake and have it too"
