That's just a mangling of 'couldn't care less' though which does make sense.

You have to be pretty daft to climb up a chimney to clean it out.

As black as Newgates knocker was a common saying in my house when I was little, especially when I came in covered in shite.

But for years I thought it was "as black as nookas knockers"
And I thought nooka was a black sort with cracking norks. 😀

It was the seventees.

"Smoke me a kipper....."

Actually it's not strange, it's genius.

I'll go to the foot of our stairs.

No one has ever said this apart from on Corrie in the 70's.
I'm sure Tony Warren made it up.

Last year I was chatting to an old lady down the road and she came up with a cracker: -

Her "In africa there is a saying, 'Never start to wash your elephant in the afternoon'"
Me "I ... um"

Meaning of course, don't leave anything important to the last minute. So now when I CBA with anything I just say "Elephants!" 😀
