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

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.

"My dick hurts" - various west Balkan languages.

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.

Also in French: "it touches one (ball) without moving the other"

As famously said by a former president of the country.

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.

I use it sometimes. We also use an equivalent of the German one: het zou mij worst wezen.

i’m american. i’m pretty sure it should say “it can oxidize on my donkey”… for no reason.
