I Do Care
I could care less.
This means that you could care less. Meaning, you do care in the first place. And though this phrase is originally intended, as "I couldn't care less," which means that you do not care at all, humanity's lack of attention to detail has turned this phrase into the complete opposite of what it was intended to mean. Therefore, it should either be retired, or corrected completely.
