"I could care less," when what the person really means is he/she could NOT care less about the topic at hand. I could care less than I do about anything I'm passionate about. "I could care less" implies SOME level of interest, but that's not how people use it. It's like an invisible double-negative.

In the same way... "for all intensive purposes" bugs the ever-loving shit out of me.  IT'S "FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES."
