    Like water on a goose - Swedish

    Just thought of one that takes a bit of explanation. In Swedish, much like German, words are joined to create longer words. Such as smörgåsbord(sandwich table). The smurfs in Swedish are therefore called gammelsmurfen (old smurf), "anything"smurfen. Because of this, people jokingly say “intressesmurfen antecknar” ( interest smurf is taking notes) to indicate that they don’t care about what somebody is saying

    “I shit on it!” (“Szarok rá!”) - in Hungarian.

    Besides that just “I don’t care.” (“Nem érdekel.”)

    Maybe “Not even the dog cares, who lives in/at the shooting range.” (“Lőtéri kutyát nem érdekli.”) But it’s more like for situations where you want to express, that nobody cares.

    There are more vulgar ones in Spain:

    Me la suda (“la” refers to “la polla”): It makes my dick sweat

    Me la pela: It peels my dick

    Me importa una mierda: That matters a shit to me

    Obviously, this last one is closer to “I don’t give a shit,” but it’s essentially the same sentiment.

    One of the ways to say in Brazilian Portuguese: “estou cagando e andando”

    Literally, “I am shitting and walking (simultaneously)”

    Greek Yeah I know of that phrase but it’s not really used. It’s as funny in Greek as it is in English.

    Most common is “on my balls”, the short version of I am writing it/him/her on my balls. Implying that you care so little you have the name of it/him/her written on your balls. Yeah it does t make much sense.

    The lighter version (you would see in subtitles for example) is “to me there is no nail being burned”. I don’t know where it comes from. Must be something to do with nails being left behind when you burn wooden structure.

    Edit: oh I remembered another; “I shat myself”.

      Or a simple “Na” while pointing to your nether region will do as well.

    It’s me sausage actually. And it doesn’t mean no fucks given, rather it is all the same to me.

    Swearing in Greece and across most of the whole region is hilarious. The actual “I don’t care”/“zero fucks given” phrase is to write something on your balls or dick.

    So many sayings are mother/whore/balls/dick based - not offensive phrases, just common sayings.

    I’m Dutch. Never heard of that phrase. They probably mean “It can rust on my ass” “‘t kan me aan mijn reet roesten” still never heard people using that. Is probably regional.

      Maybe it’s something more like “I dislike this situation”? Because I’d honestly be freaking out if my dick was covered in flowers and I was surrounded by bees. That’s how you get bees on your dick which seems objectively bad. I would give a fuck.

        But bees are typically not aggressive unless you frighten them. It might even tickle a little.
