I am assuming, they meant "ну и хрен с ним", that is better translated as "let him have the horseradish" i.e. "let him get fucked".

Same thing in Spanish. ‘Me importa un pepino (cucumber)’ is pretty tame. Most (region dependent, of course) would say ‘carajo’ instead.

#7Addition in Arabic:
> I'll talk to her for you
Or, possibly better, "tuz" (or "tozz") which just means "salt" in Turkish. There's a story behind it[0] but it's universally used across the MENA region to express indifference.

It is commonly also used by women.

#9> Another French slang expression (also testicle-related) for not giving a fuck is “I’m painting my balls with the brush of indifference”
If anyone has an idea of the original in french, I would be interested. I am French and I have no clue what he refers to.

#10Why doe these not have the original language version behind the English one? Or am I missing that (dunno what Nitter is). Like the Dutch one is: 'Het zal me aan mijn reet roesten'.
