"I could care less"
well then you fucking care, at least a bit, dont you? You fat gobby wanker.


oh, and "literally" when they mean "not literally". That literally makes my head fucking explode.

Again, English teacher correction.
A common misunderstanding, this phrase is offered as a consolation. They don't care, but at least the person could care less. It's to be said in a sarcastic manner, and this is where most people get it wrong.

Americans pulling off intentional sarcasm?
lets just say i have my doubts.

besides, original etymology aside it is NEVER used that way over here.
It is used straight up as "i couldnt care less" , just wrongly.

Yes, when people say 'literally' and they mean 'figuratively' or 'metaphorically'
My favourite example of this was on Jeremy Kyle a while back, when a woman claimed her husband's pants were (and I quote) "literally full of sperm". Myself and Mrs.Hats laughed for maybe too long at this, frankly, disgusting and disturbing image.

Shortened from
(as though) I could care less.

As mentioned above, always used sarcastically.
