Can someone please explain how "I could care less" and "I couldn't care less" can possibly mean the same thing?

@BohemianBabe Oddly enough, I've never heard anybody saying "heels over head" and if someone did say that I would laugh, assuming they were taking the p*ss.

@MaryDreamilton That version makes sense. If you're heels over head, then you're upside down. But head over heels? Our heads are always over our heels. That ain't special.

@BohemianBabe I can see what you mean, but let's face it, nobody says "heels over head".

@MaryDreamilton I'll start saying it, just to bring some logic to this insane world.

@BohemianBabe I will as well. I'll see who will be the first to laugh at me. Lol :)

@BohemianBabe A lot of commonly used phrases seem to be mishearings of the original that pass into common use because people don't think too clearly about what they are saying.

"Having your cake and eating it" does not have the same impact as the original "Eating your cake and having it" . . ie. trying to have the best of both worlds.

@SunshineGirl People don't say "Eating your cake and having it", do they? It's "Having your cake and eating it".

@MaryDreamilton But it literally means you buy a cake and eat it . . not what people take it to mean.

@SunshineGirl We don't mean the word "have" in that context.
