I could give a rats arse about:

[Aeryn333]

It means, I couldn't care less.

 

Actually, I believe it is always misquoted by Americans. *ducks*

 

Most will say "I could care less" "I could give a (insert animal)'s arse" when really they should be saying "I COULDN'T care less" or "I wouldn't / couldn't give a (insert animals)'s arse".

 

If you are saying you could care less or you could give a rat's arse (though how you would even get one is a question I probably don't want answered) then that implies you do care somewhat when the whole point of the comments is to convey that you care as little as is possible. :)

 

Cheers.

 

Its used here in Eire all the time..it is a oppsite thing true..it means I don't care, but I do..it's believed that a rat was used in the expression because of the way people view the rodent (annoying and small).

which is the point of this thread all the annoying small things that get us down..la

I could give a rats arse about semantics.

I could give a rats arse about whether or not the Irish nation take words and twist and turn them so that one never knows which way is up, but that the ride is so fekkin fun, and tragic, that you dont know whether to laugh or cry.

I could give a rats arse that, lately , i have had to come to my keyboard armed with at least one box of tissues, and that most of the time my specs are awash with unmanly tears. I could give a rats arse that said tears are considered unmanly. I so could give a rats arse about that.

I could give a rats arse, that I won't be here for a while after baring my soul, in a certain post, to a certain rats arse, about what happned to me, the, raeson I started this thread, and why hate hurts me so much,that i can't face anyone right now..after sharing that, in a heat of anger, and memory..

 

Aeryn,

 

try not to let people get to you too much. Much in life is about interpretation and perception and given that people have had varied experiences in life to go along with the similar we all have, this can cause misunderstanding, confusion, etc.

 

Anyway, you should especially not let someone on the "aether" of the internet upset you. :)

 

Cheers.

I am doing this, not out of some moralistic reason, atall..on the contray it has nothing to do with that..

 

Like so many of us, find the I hate thread to strong, since we talk about it amoungst ourselves and no-one has attempted to rectify it with an altrenative..

I thought this bold Irish Corkian Rebel lass, would..give it my best go.I hope you will stand by me all you that agree as I stick my neck out here for us all..that feel the same..

Easy sister, relax and breathe. Those who have never experienced it first hand ,know not of what they speak The word hate is thrown about with reckless abandon now-a-days, and people think that they know what hate is. You know my beloved sister,for I could feel the pain in your words.

My heart aches that you had to be brutalized and witness such things, I can only imagine how you suffered and still do. Ignor those that haven't a clue, for they never will.

 

I have a family member who too has been brutalized for what she is. Hours have I spent holding her while she cried. Today I am shunned by some for they confuse me with her because we share the same IP address. I and my father were banned from a site because we refused to answer questions posed by moderators and admins of that site...Frankly its none of their fekkin business nor anyone else's.

People will judge and hurt and rape and kill because they deem it that its right. All it shows is their own cowardice, how they must hate themselves to hate someone else for being themselves because it doesn't fit their idea of how things should be.

Never be afraid to stand for what you believe in Aeryn, for I stand with you,and as long as those of us who know the truth and respect others and judge not,then we are truely a force to be reckoned with! Love and happiness Aeryn,you will always carry a spot in my heart!

I have considered holding my tongue, but

 

Oh well, I guess I won't.

 

 

I somewhat agree with TimiHendrix' perception if not his tone.

 

I have known great tragedy of my own in my life. I was molested as a little person, gang-raped as a 12 year old virgin, and watched my mother commit suicide with a shotgun just a week before the rape. I have seen a woman I had no respect for plot for 25 years and finally succeed in getting my husband to cheat on me with her.

 

I have a right to my wrath.

 

I have forgiven much, and that is good.

 

I won't stand by and be judged for having a valid emotion that I believe is valid and offers some protection in its own negative way. It is a very ancient emotion, leftover from our primal times but what researchers call the "old brain" the ancient part of our psyche that controls "fight or flight" and does not recognize rationale or logic, is wrongfully demonized, I think.

 

I have the deepest sympathy and empathy for Aeryn's experience.

 

That's all I'm going to say for now.

I could give a rats arse for the ones who inflict damage on others because they're callus and uncaring.

Myrmaad my heart goes out to you,to have suffered as a young child like you did and still remain a nice and loving person,shows that the spirit can rise above all things.

blessed be sister!
