It's kinda like when people say "I could care less" which implies they care somewhat but could care less if they wanted to, when it's supposed to be "I COULDN'T care less" because you care so little that you literally can't care less than you do already lol
Should "OF", could "OF", would "OF" ..... screams at top of voice..."IT'S HAVE, HAVE, GODDAMIT, HAVE!!!!!!" normally just grit my teeth when I hear this but since we're all here.......
"Could care less" is actually correct. The whole point is that one is not merely apathetic (a static disposition) but actually liable to decline (dynamically not caring). It dates back to an older sense of could/would meaning wish/will i.e. "I have the wish to care less". "I couldn't care care less" implies that you may actually care but won't be reducing the care you do have. Therefore "could care less" is stronger. I wonder when they will start teaching English properly in schools.

I worked with someone who used to say “can’t see the wood through the trees”. When I corrected them they insisted that there were in fact two sayings: can’t see the wood for the trees and can’t see the wood through the trees and he continued to use it 😂

That would be a pedal stool ma'boy! A peddle stool is the stool used by street vendors to exhibit their wares. And if you want what's good for you, never, ever, put a woman on it. Unless she's the very thing you're selling, in which case go right ahead.
A squib, especially in this sense of a "damp squib", is a small explosive charge. From firecracker sized, to a quarter or half stick of dynamite. Hence, it went off like a damp squib means little or nothing happened when something much more dramatic and/or effective was expected. Why would this have anything at all to do with a muggle born of wizards being damp?
