Etymology at its finest. "Zero fucks given" in different European languages. Source: buff.ly/3fGTNqc
@simongerman600 couldn't give a fuck, would be more accurate for the uk

@inaforest @simongerman600
Was going to suggest the same. I've only ever seen "zero fucks given" on internet memes. Never heard a fellow Brit say it or see them write it.

Would usually be something in the form of:
(Couldn't give/don't give) a (fuck/shit/rat's arse)

Plus the variations like:
Couldn't give a flying fuck
Couldn't give two fucks

@basil @simongerman600 "zero fucks given" is blatantly an American influenced way to say it..oh yes

@simongerman600

From the Wikipedia article about Estonian dessert powder two1 :

"A similar product is skrädmjöl, a flour consisting exclusively of roasted oats which is traditionally made in the Swedish province of Värmland. It was brought there by Forest Finns."

I knew it. Finns are like Elves.

Kama (food) - Wikipedia

@simongerman600 I would say "this goes past my ass". From Northern Germany.
@kamikater @simongerman600 From Northern Germany? You guys Talk? In such long sentences? Gotta be kidding, aren't we? You didn't grow up in the north, right? 😂
@Pentropy @simongerman600 We talk, but only if no outsider is listening. 😉
@simongerman600 the Italian one is a better translation of "I don't give a shit" than "zero fucks given", which is an interesting reversal of the sex/anal categorization

@simongerman600 "I have Estonian dessert powder two"?!

Two (2)?

That's either a mistranslation or a whole article by itself…

@andy_twosticks @simongerman600

from the reddit thread, it's an overly literal translation of "kama", so in this case it would be like "I have two kama" i.e. even more uninteresting things.

@simongerman600 also in Spanish "I care a pepper" but also "it makes my dick/fanny sweat", "it makes my dick weak" or "it blows air to my dick/fanny".

@simongerman600
The map misses Catalan.

M'importa un rave -> I care a radish

@lapesanta that’s rather friendly

@simongerman600 @lapesanta in Catalan we have the whole spectrum, some examples:

Makes my dick/cunt sweat (me la sua)
It wanks me off (me la pela)
It blows my dick/cunt (me la bufa)
I care a shit (m'importa una merda)
I care a radish (m'importa un rave)
It puts my dick soft (me la porta fluixa)

@Republicanes @lapesanta so educational. Beautiful flowery language 😉

@lapesanta
And to have missed the radish, one of my favourite vegestables! The bloody nerve 😂

@simongerman600

@lapesanta what is the red dot in spain "five of them"? i'd guess that is catalonia, the author just put it too far in the west. the map is quite a bit messy and inaccurate
@Pentropy That should be Euskadi. "Bost axola izan"
Bost is five.

@simongerman600

Why is Ukraine‘a Crimea in Russia?

@BadWoof @simongerman600 It is clearly not shown as a part of Russia on this map.
@BadWoof @simongerman600 for the same reason why peoples republic of donetzk and luhansk people republic have the same *color* as russia. crimea and eastern ukraine-region always have been culturally and politically been much closer to russia which caused the tensions, long before 2014, that lead to the complicated situation there today. notice the picture says "languages", not countries. also notice euskadi, which is part of spain, not an independent country.
@simongerman600 TO EVERYONE: First of all, this map is a *Joke*. Second it's not about politics or accurate borders of countries. Slovakia is not part of the Ukraine, Luxembourg isn't french, euskadi is not a sovereign country. The map is meant to be about *Language* while same color doesn't mean same language as the captions on the bottom are showing. also notice the map is from the netherlands and is linguistically sloppy, in translation, in meaning, in dialects, just everything.
@simongerman600 I don't believe it's well researched.

@simongerman600 The Czech version should be "near my ass", not in. And we also often use the equivalents of I cough on it, I'm pooping on it, etc.

I guess it will be similar in other countries, the examples chosen (how?) would be just one of several different used.

@simongerman600 Finnish is my first language but I can't figure out what's the saying behind that kilogram... thing. 🤔
