On a recent episode of -
Fairly Legal - USA Channel -
There was an exchange between Ben and Leo -
Ben is a lawyer -
Leo is the personal assistant to the “she” referred to below -
I think that I wrote it all down right -
But - if not - it’s close enough - ;))
===
Ben - What? I could care less if she’s sleeping with him -
Leo - COULDN’T care less -
COULD care less indicates you care ENOUGH to care less -
Of course, how MUCH less you COULD care depends -
On how much you DO care - which is? -
Ben - Zero - and you can’t care less than zero -
Leo - True that - if that were true -
===
BOB agrees with Leo -
And COULDN'T care less if she's sleeping with him -
But -
If Ben cares zero -
And - as he himself said -
You can’t care less than zero -
Why did he say -
He COULD care less? -;))
But then again - it’s probably just me.

I'm so confused :-)
Ok I read this way to early this morning! Well... early for me anyway. And now my brain is all fuddled trying to figure out could or couldn't. And since I really don't know Ben or Leo or She I do know I don't care who she sleeps with. Or is that: couldn't care? or ??? ;0) heehee
You sound like Vinnie Barbarino - ;))
Let me try again -
On a scale of 1 to 5 -
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
If you care “3” - you COULD care less -
You COULD care “2” or “1”
But -
If you care ZERO -
You COULDN’T care less -
Because you can’t care less than ZERO -
Unless you want to get into negative numbers - ;))
