    Shouldn’t it be „me neither“?

      Yes it should. Kind of in the same way that it should be “I couldn’t care less” instead of “I could care less” which I’ve seen a lot more in recent years.

        Bernie said “could care less” in his response to the sotu last night. Made me cringe.

          Literally just talking about that! I agree that the original intent (and, you know, meanings of words) should make it “couldn’t” but I think the two have linguistically drifted together within the phrase.

          The rules-boy in me rallies against it, but the descriptivist in me celebrates and I couldn’t care less how he said it.

            Wittgenstein said that language isn’t actually semantic in its natural state. Instead, language serves as a sort of game to accomplish social ends.

            “I could care less” serves the social end of telling everyone you have no critical thinking skills and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

              Lol.

              On a slightly more serious note, it makes dry humor a bit harder to land since you can’t rely on subtlety as much. Like “I could care less about my SO” in context where it’s the punchline of a misdirection joke.

              Such is life though.

      Yes, do you think someone celebrating sexism is going to be the kind of person that edits their tweets before sending them?

      Girrrlllll, it’s so brave that you shared that information about yourself in public on the Internet next to a picture of your IRL face.

    Both of those have multiple other uses, good and bad. Maaan is used for amazement and girrrl is used for incredulity.

    I think it probably has far more to do with phonetics and the ways different sounds carry emotion than with the gender identity we insist upon associating with specific words

        Oh that’s actually non of my business. You could contact her and ask her how she is doing. Just as an idea where to start.

      Looks like a solo marketing op, she dating/married to that guy?

      Actually, I don’t care. Nor do I care about her name or whatever. Let her live in peace.
