A phrase that emphasises the lack of care for something or someone. Often mistaken as 'I could care less'.
David: Quick Bert! Muffles the kitten ate some mothballs, and now it's foaming out it's mouth; WE NEED TO GOTO A VET!
Bert: I couldn't care less about your God-Damned Cat right now.

This is what stupid people say when they, in fact, mean, "I couldn't care less." The intent of the phrase is to express the fact that the level of caring the user has is nil. However when taken literally, the phrase dictates that there is at least some level of caring and it is possible to care less. Some people have said that the phrase is used sarcastically and that people who use it know that the meaning is opposite to the literal interpretation. However it is far more likely that people who say, "I could care less," and mean the opposite are just stupid.
I could care less about your opinion.

Used incorrectly by idiots to mean 'I couldn't care less'.
This is turn means 'I care so little about this topic that my level of caring is at its utmost minimum'
When people say 'I could care less', what they are actually saying is:
'My level of caring is not yet at its minimum, and there is scope to care less about this topic.'
...Which is one of the most useless things you can tell someone.

1. It is possible for me to be less interested in the subject than I am at this moment.
2. It is not possible for me to be less interested in the subject than I am at this moment.
When unsure as to which definition should be applied, it can help to judge the person's intelligence - morons usually mean #2.

I could care less about something as unimportant as this.

A moderately unkind smart-ass thing to say to someone who says something that doesn't matter. Most people who say this are either in a bad mood, not a nice person altogether, or don't like the person they're talking to. It's not very clever, but alot of people thing it is.
