    A few others from french :

    J’en parlerai à mon cheval (I’ll make sure to tell my horse)
    Parle à mon cul, ma tête est malade (Talk to my ass, my head is sick/ill)
    Je m’en tamponne le coquillard (no idea how to translate this, but here is a fun explainer, also in french)

    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

      Bulgarian as well, but that the dick “doesn’t” hurt is implied. I assume it’s the same for you?

    It sucks me (as in fellatio) an egg (testicle).

    It sucks my dick.

    I care a crow’s nest (as in ships)

    I care a turd.

    I care a shit.

    (Spanish again, we are creative people, as someone pointed out, the New World is way more colorful than Spain)

    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.

    “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.

      It was all the buzz in those days!

      Honey, stick around; I’ve got more where those came from.

      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.

        I interpret it as “I don’t give a fuck about it, and I’m so calm about it that I can literally have flowers on my dick and bees around it and I’ll be safe, I’m a Buddha of fucking calmness about this situation, I’m one with nature and the planet”.

        You know, bees attack you only if you do some violent movements. I’m overthinking it, but I agree from the bunch it’s the one that stands out. So poetic.

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

    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.
