EPTI don't know if you understand how the fuck language works. It's "Couldn't care less". If you could care less, you clearly care at least some amount because there is less that you could care.
Learn to english.

In example, taken from a classmate's paper during high school English class: "The Romans, you see, were complete douchebags.", opposed to "The Romans were complete douchebags." Two words omitted and your point still gets across. Also, YES I CAN SEE I HAVE MY OWN PAIR OF EYES YOU TWIT. | ||

The connotation of Plethora isn't necessarily too many (like the word excess) but more like more than enough to be considered acceptable (an abundance or teeming). Back on track: I really dislike when I hear people try to use old south phrases in jest, but fail at it. More than you can shake a stick at, good ole' boy, etc. are all misused horribly -_-;;. Hmm, I wasn't aware of the other definition, since I often associate plethora with a negative connotation. Thanks for letting me/us know. | ||

When I was young, my brother got around that issue by licking whatever piece(s) he wanted. | ||

You only die once (YODO) was a good response once when they lost. ____ Funny ones: How would you like your eggs sir? "I'd like them well-done." He must of been high/drunk. "What do I got to do to get your job?" It's my job bitch! Job security = I'm not telling you. How about anytime someone uses "of" when it should be "have" ? For example, "He must of been high/drunk", when it's "He must HAVE been high/drunk". | ||

In proper context, using vocabulary that warrants it, it's perfectly acceptable. The majority of times that I've seen it, however, is as a substitute for "while" in common, everyday language. I don't know if people thinks it makes a sentence sound smarter, or they think it supposed to be used everywhere, but the end result is language like: "I read the paper whilst I'm pissing." "I'll make a salad whilst you're barbecuing." If you're going to use pretentious language, please do it properly. | ||
