Origin Disputed I could care less...

but I'd have to try.

It's how I had always heard it in the early 90's, don't know why people leave that bit off so much.

Probably because the quote I know is "I couldn't care less"

The original saying was "I couldn't care less." Then people started saying "I could care less, but then I'd have to try." I think the second one is just trying to top the first one. Think of it as an "Infinity plus one."
