Haggis is absolutely elite tier (once you get over the ingredients) what are you all on about. I could sit with a bowl of that stuff and eat it with a spoon, and I have done exactly that on several occasions.

It suffers from the problem that sheep's meat is greasy.
Now if you made it from Pork then you get an elite tier food. (Namely Black or White Pudding.)

I could explain I swapped the implied meaning from "I won't say I couldn't care less but that's damning with faint praise" to "I should care less", but that would ruin the joke.

I'm hardly a prescriptivist linguistically and people can say whatever they want if people understand it but 'could care less' does stand out to me because the words mean exactly the opposite of the intended usage.

It is not a mistake to use the word 'mistake' to mean 'a usage that is commonly thought wrong'. That's just how language works, too.

If you have the ability to arbitarily reduce the amount you care about something then you probably don't care about it much in the first place is how i see it.

They're just rebranding it as a flavour of fanta. It still sucks but at least it'll still exist.

White pudding is made with beef suet, not pork (although pork is sometimes added). Also it's loving vile.

Some Brits do, and I could be wrong but i've always attributed it to the increased accessibility to US TV like Friends etc in the 90s, 00s etc.

I know there are regional variants but I've never seen a white pudding where the primary ingredients weren't pork, pork fat and oats in that order.
