    Enough hashish and nothing makes any sense. Except maybe Taco Bell.

    Funny stuff, again. Autocorrect rules. Maybe autocorrect got it right. It was supposed to be internet-speak.

    Hairy Alaskan eww da toilet

    Not a phrase but my wife hates the words, moist, panties and lube. Not much fun going on in my house.

    "Home in" means to move toward a target or goal. "Hone in" means nothing.

    Paul Turner outside the quote(s) now

    people who pronounce the capital of Massachusetts as BAHHston make it sound like the name of the capital city is "Barston".

    It's been a while since I've heard anyone use "hone in". I've always used "Zero In".

    That would avoid the misuse altogether. But I heard "hone in" just recently, which prompted my post here.

    That one annoys me as much as "liberry" (a place you go, to borrow books.)

    I had a department head, years ago, who said "liberry". Hearing that from a college-educated adult is just painful.

    Hairy Alaskan eww da toilet

    I never knew this. I have to embarrassingly admit that I always thought it was hone in. My whole childhood I also thought the saying was Old Wise Tales instead of Old Wives Tales.
    So what's correct, I could care less or I couldn't care less?

    Either, depending on whether or not you could care less.

    Assuming that you mean you do not care, even one little bit, "I couldn't care less." is correct.

    I always assumed, I Could Care Less was more sarcastic than accurate. You might think I'm at the end of my tolerance for whatever situation but I could go even lower kind of a thing. Where I Couldn't Care Less is more like admitting that I've reached my maximum limit.

    Utilize. If you hang a shirt on a hanger you are using it. If you unclog a toilet with the hanger you are utilizing it.
