  • pet peeve

i actually hate this phrase (it's a """pet peeve""", so to speak)

how did this ever come to mean 'minor annoyance', and what do pets have to do with it

I really feel like the people that purposefully say, 'I could care less', strive to annoy people.

"you can't compare apples and oranges"

like... yeah i can stfu

And I do mean it figuratively as well. When I hear people using this expression it's often for things I'd have no problem comparing.

it's a great example of a thought-terminating cliche

here's the opposite

"i could care less" is actually totally valid and makes sense for what it's trying to convey. simply the act of caring doesn't mean you care very much at all. expressing how much you care by saying that technically you could care less is brutally dismissive. like, i'm capable of caring less but it would be difficult

not sure what everyone's beef is
