"I could care less".
Oh really? How much less?
At least it makes sense when people say "I couldn't care less."
"I tried to, I really did. But I just could not care less. I'd hit the bottom of the barrel."
I thought that was the joke: I could care less… but I can’t even be bothered to care any less because I care so little.
It's just people saying it wrong, like "bone apple tea" instead of " bon appetit". It's supposed to be "I couldn't care less". But I mean come on, these are the same people who searched for "Michael Jackson Billy's Jeans" so often on YouTube that it became a recommended search term. Lol.
It can be interpreted as sarcasm, as in "tell me more, I could care even less."
