I think Hungarian (not present on the list) is also nice: _Leszarom_ > Meaning: I shit on it. Another one is: _Baszok rá_ > Meaning: I fuck on it (which makes no sense in English)

I'm not a native speaker, but the phrase that came to mind for me was "A faszom tudja" ("My dick knows"/"I have no fucking clue") It's a little bit different, but I feel like I've heard other similar phrases too.

There is also

> "Fasz kivan" (My dick is out)

when you're fed up with something or

> "Elmész a faszba" (You go to the dick)

when you don't want somebody around.

The best one is

> "Lófasz a seggedbe" (Horse dick into your arse)

though which you use when somebody says something that you don't like and/or stupid and/or they want you to do something and you want to say that you don't agree with it and/or you don't want to do it.

>It’s horseradish to me (Russian) Well, that's a one way to say it for sure, but that's almost the most delicate way, lol.

there's also "да не ебет", which means roughly, "well, it doesn't fuck me"

I mean... you can put it in many different forms in russian.

In French, the one with the paint is not common. However “je m’en branle” (I wank myself with it?) and “j’en ai rien à branler/foutre/secouer” (I have nothing to wank/jerk/shake with it) are _very_ common.

For precision, "foutre" is actually cum (semen). Although younger folks are not familiar with this meaning and use it like the verb "do".

Tu fous quoi? = What are you doing? (literally: what are you cumming?)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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!

You'd be surprised what 2000 years of living at a global center of wealth and power can do to the spirit of an average joe. For inspiration, see this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29639486

As mentioned in the thread, it's more like it's an ad for a book. Including cross posting it here.

Knowing the thread, i don't really see a correlation ( and it seems te exagerated + coincidence considering the timing in the reddit thread - ~4 hours between)

As 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…

I logged in to upvote this :D

In Swedish it's not as harsh as Zero fucks given but reading some of those others I'd say "intresseklubben antecknar" is the phrase we'd use when I was growing up in the 90s. It translates literally to "the club of interested people is taking notes".

This one is beautifully sarcastic.
