Get the It doesn't care mug.The proper way to express how you don't give a crap about something - you really don't care about something and it's impossible to not care any more. The common but incorrect variant "could care less" (which would technically imply that you do care about something) is widely used because of either a translation mistake into English, or those who blindly use phrases without taking a moment to understand their actual meaning.
Person A: A company just got sued for patent infringement!

Person B: *yawn* Oh really? I couldn't care less.

Get the don't care (hand gesture) mug.A phrase originally used in the late '60s and early '70s in support of the hippie movement against the older generation's often prude and narrowminded world view, which associated long hair (especially on males) with a sloppy lifestyle. Sometimes also related to long hair on males being associated with homosexuality due to the similarity with traditionally feminine hairstyles. The phrase emphasizes that the speaker isn't affected by what is meant as an insult but actually embraces the accusation.
