Re: “Zero fucks given” in other languages
#72Being Italian, I find queer that I never heard anything even similar to the two cited sayings: >I will talk about it with my horse (Italian) >I don’t give a cabbage (Italy) EDIT: Ok, correction, the second one, as "I don't care a cabbage" is fine.
I don't know them either, never heard before... also missing the more generic "I care a saw" or "dicks keying".
Re: “Zero fucks given” in other languages
#73The dutch one is better translated as “I’ll let it rust my crack” (as in buttcrack) rather than anus. It comes from the fact that we also used to use the word crack for “railtrack embedded in the pavement” as used by trams (streetcars). To let the crack oxidize is to not do proper upkeep on that section of the track. Though no one uses crack to refer to railway track anymore. So the translation is definitely the conn…
I for one use the 'het zal mij aan mijn anus oxideren' as a more chique version of the 'aan mijn reet roesten'.

#74> 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.
"Je m'en badigeonne les testicules avec le pinceau de l'indifférence"

You can assume that most trending content on the web is intentionally well timed and trying to peddle something to you. Doesn't matter though; still fun.
“Fun” is subjective. I found much of this material not interesting or fun. Im just replying to you whilst walking my dog, hoping to trigger a raucous debate for the sake of it.
Haha! Nice, I'm replying to this while doing AoC day 22. Let's start the debate!
But no, it was not 'that' much fun, especially without the original phrases included (mildly interesting what it is in English, but they missed a lot of nuance, of course, by probably going Google translate -> Google translate or something). But often I see interesting content which is blatant sales/marketing material for a book, SaaS or coaching/consultancy product. I recognise that most things people put a lot of time in are somehow to 'make them money' in some way, especially if that is their job (like evangelists of corps often have very elaborate and interesting articles, videos, etc but they are created with targets in mind).

#76As an italian from (near) Rome, I feel offended we're not getting the recognition we deserve for this! The expression for variations of "who cares" would be "Sticazzi" (~= "these dicks") and is a particularly important expression in roman culture! "Not caring" is core to our being, in most bad and good ways :) There's even a short story whose origin I can't recall: When God finished making the world, God was looking…
Roman Empire acquired almost every piece of land in Europe, so that story is not quite accurate about the power and wealth ;) But it's entertaining, of course - thanks!
I think that's the point. God told the Romans that there's no power or wealth left and they said "fuck it" and took it anyways (and God allowed).

#78Addition 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. [0] https://arabicway.tumblr.com/post/45019281929/a-lot-of-peopl...
Also: like my feet متل إجري and like my ass متل طيزي
I'm sure there are many other examples in other Arabic dialects

It's a more vulgar version of " https://fr.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/s%E2%80%99en_brosser_le_nom... ". However, I found it quite surprising to add such a rare thing but not the most usual things like "I've got nothing to wax" and its vulgar form.
That happens when you google idioms in other languages ... you have no clue about the actual usage. And they are usually not one-to-one. German "das ist mir Wurst" is also a lot weaker than "zero fucks given", at least use something stronger like "das interessiert keinen Arsch" (no asshole cares). Also "zero fucks given" in the sense of "irresponsible, he just does it and doesn't care who gets hurt" doesn't really ha…
Even stronger (and more like "zero fucks ..." imho): Das ist (mir) scheißegal ("indifferent as shit" ot something like it).

Yes ; 'roest' means rust so oxidising. Also I think 'reet' means more crack (literal meaning of reet is is tear as in the crack, not the hole) or butt than anus. Which is why it would be nice to have the original sentences there so they can be dissected.
"reet" means ass. It shall rust to my ass.
It is hard to find the exact meaning of ass though; always ends up with donkey; asshole is anus, but ass would be butt then? My point is ; reet != anus.
