In Polish, it’s “mam to w dupie”, or “I have it up my ass”, which actually sounds painful/rather a lot of effort about something you’re indifferent to.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm Flemish and I use it a lot, actually. "Dat kan mijn reet roesten.", it has a great ring to it.
Correction: Kan me AAN me reet roesten. At least in Amsterdam we use the expression like this.
And although I too only know the expression with the word "aan" in it, the translation by jauco at the start of this thread seems to suggest they also use it without that word.
> 6. I don't give a frostbitten onion (Romanian) Never heard anything even close. The usual is "ma doare-n pula" which translates as "it hurts in my dick", or, "da-o-n pula" = "put it / send it in dick" if you're talking about something/somebody. Or you can just say "pula" (dick) in the correct context would translate the same. EDIT: Forgot to mention the "censored", non-vulgar version: "ma doare tare" = "it hurts mu…
I've never heard about the frostbitten onion before and I am Romanian as well - maybe it's particular to some regions? "It hurts in my dick" is just a more vulgar way of saying "it hurts in my ass" (the ass would be a place you wouldn't care if you hurt or not); more vulgar because "pula" (erect penis) is more vulgar than ass. The next level of not giving a fuck after that is "it doesn't even hurt in my ass" which I…
My favorite is "it breaks my dick" - "mi se rupe pula". Then there is the euphemistic "it hurts somewhere", with the reader left to guess where exactly.
The elbow variant is another euphemism for ass, due to lexical similarity "cur" vs "cot".
Earlier quoted context omitted.
"Non me ne frega un cavolo" is pretty common in Northern Italy, though I'd often go for the more vulgar "non me ne frega un cazzo." (I don't care/give a dick) Never heard the one about the horse either.
Yup, with "frega" probably translated into "rub".
In Polish, it’s “mam to w dupie”, or “I have it up my ass”, which actually sounds painful/rather a lot of effort about something you’re indifferent to.
Other options: - wisi mi to [i powiewa] = it hangs of me [and waves around] - mam to w nosie = I have it in my nose - to nikogo = this [matters to] nobody (this is actually pretty funny but can't translate it to English, the joke is that nobody in this particular case only applies to several possible verbs, only a few of them apply to groups of people, and the case also encodes negation - so saying "nikogo" (nobody i…
> 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.
Also, "I slap my balls on it" is probably the translation of "je m'en bats les coulles", but a better translation would be "I slap my balls with it".
It is sometimes shortened as "j'm'en balec" or even just "balec".

In french there's "je m'en fous comme de l'an 40" or "je m'en moque comme de l'an 40" : "I don't care, as if it was year 40" . But the funny thing is nobody really knows about which year 40 this is. It's not 1940 for the saying goes back at least 200 years. https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/se_foutre_comme_de_l%E2%80%99...
