Zero ****s Given

[frozenchief]

I put this in DC because the language is a bit crude even though this has nothing to do with politics. In fact, in many ways, I find both political parties to be nothing more than fraudsters who want to take my money to run my life. Republicans as a rule just seem to want to do it on a slower scale than Democrats. So the phrase 'zero ****s given' really fits the current zeitgeist.

But as I look at the global economy and international relations, I realize that phrase applies to more than America. Well, today I learned that 'zero ****s given' does not translate to every country. So, to help CPers, I give this handy chart for how other countries say 'zero ****s given':



"It's horseradish to me" and
"I beat my balls" don't really make sense to me.

But "It interests me as much as a pound [kilogram] of shit" has a nice ring to it, I think.

"It bothers me like a cardboard duck" is also kind of odd.

Anyway, enjoy.

Thought this would have been a Biden thread.

But there are some crazy ass sayings in that map.

I figured sometimes we can all use a break from politics.

The one---I have it in my ass. Damn, that is uncomfortable.

None of those showed up in the NYT dialect test.

"Not on my dick" is definitely quotable.

I like 'flowers on my dick and bees all around.' The Spice Girls could have had a hit with that back in the day.
