Whoa, fuck yeah Linus Torvalds
On top of all of that he used "I couldn't care less" correctly.
Do people use that incorrectly a lot?

english as a second language tend to be more careful with their usage of idioms
Man, fuck english idioms. Will never get over how "that's shit" = bad but "that's the shit" = good
Greater brevity: "Holy fuck!" Something bad happened. "Holy fuck!" Something awesome happened.
That's quite the example.
"bollocks" = bad / nonsense / lies
"the bollocks" = the absolute best you can get
Yes, but sometimes they use them too much.
