• pet peeve

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

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
