bodleing2: But why would you say "I could care less" when you mean the opposite?
Synomums for "could" are:

may
is able to
possibly
will

So the sentence might read.........I may care less; I am able to care less; I could possibly care less; I will care less

The real reason when someone says.....I could care less is just poor grammar Mr. Biddle

Packersbabe1: That’s exactly what it means, I only say it
if somebody is being rude or mean
But when you say "I could care less", it means you care more than you could care. So you do care to some extent.

When you say "I couldn't care less", it means you care so little that it isn't possible for you to care care any less. In other words: you don't care at all.

Harbottle: Yes, and I always want to correct them, and it is a tremendous effort not to.
I could care less. (Figure of speech)
