two phrases I do not understand:

- I could care less: This phrase is usually used to express complete indifference. However, if you are totally without an opinion, you cannot in fact care less. You can’t care less than zero. So the phrase means the opposite of what it is usually used to express.
- Extra virgin olive oil: What exactly are we talking about here? “Not only is it 100% pure olives, but the olives didn’t even mess around a bit when they were teenagers.” Huh? It doesn’t make sense.
I’d like to end with a reminder that any time you are going to get rid of some of your clothes, you should keep that in mind the last time you wear them, because you can get them as dirty as you want without considering the consequences.
