A sarcastic, ironic, irreverent take on the original phrase "couldn't care less." Just like with "couldn't care less," this phrase simply means that one does not care. In this case, it is intended as an ironic insult, since it prompts the other person to reason out that the only reason it would make sense to say "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less" is if they cared some and yet still extremely little. It's an insult delivered as a sarcastic compliment.
It's like if the TV is on really loud, and someone says, "can you turn it up?" That's a sarcastic comment on how loud it is. Just like "I could care less" is a sarcastic comment on how little you care.
Over time, it became so commonplace that people forgot it was sarcastic and just say it straight to mean "I don't care."

A statement of affirmation or agreement about a proposed activity. Used in place of "I could get behind that", or "sure". The 'yeah' can be omitted if in a hurry.
While originally used exclusively about objects that are 'splayable', modern uses of the phrase do not require this property.
A similar phrase is "yeah, I *can* splay that", used to indicate belief or proficiency instead, i.e. "I'd buy it" or "I can do that".
It's also theoretically possible to use "no, I couldn't/can't/won't splay that" to indicate distaste or refusal, but this is rarely heard.
