"I couldn't give a rat's ass."
Which is sometimes also said as: "I could give a rat's ass."
Kind of the same phenomenon as the I could care less/couldn't care less issue. However, that is not even my main problem here. Since when did rat's asses become a form of currency against which we measure how much we care?
If I care a LOT--how many rat's asses do I put on the table? 10? 50? 100? It takes time and good money to kill that many rats!
Or, maybe if you CAN'T give a rat's ass, it means you are poor. And if you CAN, it's a sign of prosperity.
