The dictionary treats could care less as a variant of the older phrase couldn’t care less because it is so frequently encountered. Logic and grammar are often separate considerations, but many people criticize the use of could care less because it seems illogical.
In an attempt to add another dubious assertion to our collection of rhetorical proclamations, we may state with absolute assurance that there are but two kinds of people in this world: those who feel very angry when someone omits a negative particle in “I couldn’t care less,” and those who don’t give such matters much thought. Is there a meaningful difference between these kinds of people, or these two phrases?
We care just enough to take a look.
We define could care less and couldn’t care less on the same page, with the single definition “used to indicate that one is not at all concerned about or interested in something.” We do not put these seemingly disparate idioms on the same page in order to save space, or so that we might cause you pain. We do it because one is simply a variant of the other, and they are used in a synonymous manner.
There is little doubt that couldn’t care less is the older form, although no one is certain where this came from. There has been speculation that it is British in origin, and that American soldiers returning from World War II brought it to these shores. While it may indeed have come from the United Kingdom, there is clear evidence that couldn’t care less was in use prior to the 1940s.
Exasperated, she jumped up. ”I couldn’t care less,” she said, “whether you come or go.” — Hearst’s International - Cosmopolitan , May 1929
”I couldn’t care less,” said the hawklike man, “if you were Queen of the May. Now be a good girl, Lady Quorn, and try to be sensible for a change.” — Michael Arlen, Liberty (Rye, NY), 3 Nov. 1934
”I couldn’t care less,” responded Miss Mond lightly.
”Ectulleh!” exclaimed Mr. Faille, trying to keep the venom out of his voice. — The Kansas City Star (Kansas City, MO), 25 Jan. 1942
Could care less does not appear to have become a fixed variant until some time after this.
He hasn’t heard from the department since. Apparently, they could care less. — The Chilliwack Progress (Chilliwack, Can.), 6 Jan. 1954
There have been numerous theories about why people began to drop the negative particle, including sarcasm, lack of education, and that the phrase simply sounds better when omitting the not . We have no firm opinion on any of these, but would like to point out that uses of could care less with the negation given elsewhere in the sentence have been around for a fairly long time.
The writer evidently has no more heart for the appreciation of Canning and his errors than Lord Palmerston himself has, and evidently cares no more about Lord Palmerston, whom he tries to praise, than we ourselves do. It is impossible that he could care less. — The Morning Post (London, Eng.), 18 Jul. 1840
His bearing towards male acquaintances, of whom he knew little or nothing and could care less, was marked by an affectation of gushing friendliness, which overdid itself. — The Dundee Courier (Dundee, Sc.) 12 Jul. 1865
Additionally, the uncontracted form of couldn’t care less appears to have been in use since the 19th century.
I know many people who, if the archbishop were to be roasted, would go to get a bit of him, because he has yielded to the Catholics respecting giving children the whole Bible. But he goes on, and he could not care less for abuse if he were made of wood. — Lucy Aikin, Memoirs , 1864
We understand why could care less sticks in your craw: it appears to mean something rather opposed to what it purports to mean. The person who says “I could care less” is, on the face of it, stating “Yes, it would be possible for me to care less deeply about this matter than I do, and therefore I am betraying some unspecified degree of care.” But if you are the kind of person who cries out against this abomination we must warn you that people who go through life expecting informal variant idioms in English to behave logically are setting themselves up for a lifetime of hurt.
Both could and couldn’t care less are informal, and so you are unlikely to use either one in formal writing. If you have need of using it in some other context, and would like to avoid alienating some portion of your audience you should stick with couldn’t care less . And if you can’t get past some people continuing to use could care less , and the fact that there’s nothing you can do about it, you may console yourself with the notion that at least they are not saying “I could care fewer.”

Even if you’re not rich. Even if you can’t deadlift a Dodge. Even if you’re not training for an Iron-anything. You deserve a gym that’s beyond friendly, beyond spotless, beyond well-equipped. A gym with every fun class you want, in one place. A gym that feels like a country club, but costs like a couple of lattes. We set out to reinvent fitness clubs because we believe you’ve been underserved and overcharged. Because everybody deserves an awesome gym. AND THIS IS IT.
The founders of Chuze studied the fitness industry carefully—from pricey clubs to cheap ones, giant places to small studios—and said “we can absolutely do this better.”
Our goal wasn’t to create just another gym; it was to create a whole new gym category. And we did.
We don’t pay people to say nice things about us. They just do.
For as low as $9.99 a month, you’d expect a bad hotel workout room. Instead you get over-the-top awesomenesss, no strings attached. For a few dollars more, add classes, amenities, team training, the works.
Treadmills, climbers, rowing machine, ellipticals. The equipment’s new. It’s spotless. And every machine works like, well, a well-oiled machine.
Are you in the mood for Circuit Training? Free or bar weights? Biometrics? Quiet core workout? Noisy Zumba class? Cycling alone, or with others? Running, jumping rope? Handstands and cartwheels? Seriously, it’s impossible to get bored. And to think workout studios offer just one workout—and charge more.
No judgy people at the front desk. No used car salesmen trying to sell you anything. Just authentically friendly types who know you by name. Who love you in the body you arrived in and are eager to help you get the one you want.
Everyone who works at Chuze cleans, from the owners on down. Like, all the time. Sometimes with Q-tips. You’ve never seen, or smelled(!) a gym this clean. You could use the free weights for dinner plates.
A real theater with a real cineplex-size screen and surround-sound. Hop on the treadmill or cycle; get fit while watching Brad Pitt.
Like having your own personal trainer, but with the support of a group. Guidance, plus camaraderie. Welcome to your kick in the pants.
Zumba, yoga, cycling, barre, pilates and more. Classes you can’t wait to take, with instructors who make you want to come back the very next day. Take as many as you want—mix it up—and still spend less a month than you would for a single class at a workout studio.
Hydro massage, tanning beds, steam room, infra-red sauna, jacuzzi, you name it. And a daycare room that’s not just a big-screen babysitter, but a real service with activities kids love and hate to leave. You can park your child and un-park your body.
Lots of our locations have pools. Big, gorgeous pools. So you can get fit without breaking a sweat. (It’s called the breaststroke, and you do it while wet.)
The city’s best gym also happens to have the best price.
“Best gym in Westminster, maybe even Denver. Great staff, perfect facility, spa-like atmosphere, great equipment, and again, great staff. This place is a treat!”
“Get ready for the ‘Wow’ factor!! Thank you #ChuzeFitness. The layout of the gym is perfect, the staff members were super awesome.. ‘Yes I said Super Awesome’.. Cody took the initiative to show me around the whole gym, which fueled my excitement like a kid at a candy shop. The next big workout experience is here in #Westminster!!”
“The best gym in South East LA region. It’s not just spacious and full of equipment (4 rack to squat, power clean, and deadlift… which is unheard of in most gyms), but it has a great and welcoming staff as well. Their emphasis on cleanliness, common courtesy, and gym etiquette is unlike any I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend this gym to anyone. There is no shortage of gear to get some solid work done in here.”
“This gym is awesome! All I am here to say is if you have team training membership, you have to book your class with Coach Carter! He is everything you need to reach your goals! He makes sure you kick butt and give it your all, and he gives you the tools for all that with his motivational talk and gives real good tips/advice! After the 60 minutes are over you will feel educated and proud of yourself!”
“Great gym! Always clean and super friendly staff. I have been coming to this gym for about 3 years now and I’m always happy with it!”
“The only gym that I’ve been able to be 100% comfortable in. The staff are so kind, the environment is pleasing and I feel so accepted! Also, side note, one of their staff members went all the way outside with me and helped me look for my car in the freezing cold! Literally best people and service ever!”
“I’ve been coming to Chuze for quite some time now. This gym is always clean, the employees are friendly and there are tons of cool exercise classes to choose from.”
“So far I have only done the 7-day guest pass and I am loving it. Definitely recommend taking the fitness training class. This is really worth the price. The coaches really push you to do your best.”
“Today marks my fifth year of membership at Chuze. Maintained clean and friendly. Congratulations Chuzers!!”
Whether you choose our basic plan or one that includes classes, or even team training, you’ll pay a whole lot less—and get far more—than you can imagine. Awesome gym; awesomer price.
Instead of giving you the least we can for the money, we do the exact opposite. Why? Because delighted people tell their friends. Because karma is a boomerang. Find out every little thing that makes Chuze unique.
