I hate people who misuse this term, irregardless of the situation.  And to follow up on this witty American Dad reference... Ah thank you... I only came in here to post that video. |

Okay, I don't understand how "I could care less" could be seen as a sarcastic statement. "I care a lot" could clearly be sarcastic, but I don't really see how the former works.

I try not to use either sentence. If there was a head nodding smiley, I would stick it right here. |

I don't know who says, "I could care less." At least half the people on this board and virtually every North American I know on Facebook and Twitter. It really is a problem here and even as an American, it bothers me. However, I could see how "I could care less" can be used sarcastically or still as a point of showing that you don't care much for what is happening or being said. My friend actually says it a way that makes sense, he pretends to think for a second, saying "hmm" and then nods and says "I could care less". In this sense, I actually think it is just as insulting. But most Americans just spurt out "I could care less" without even using this manner or even a sarcastic tone. |

I can only take so much direction from a country that thinks "ass" has an R in it.  |

And to follow up on this witty American Dad reference...  I know it was a joke. It's just the opportunity came up for that reference |

Well since I'm going to be an English teacher; couldn't.
Saying "I could care less" implies that you still have a genuine interest and concern for whatever you're talking about.
