Me When People Ask Me How To Say "I Don't Care" In French

me when people ask me how to say "I don't care" in french

A table with 7 columns classifying an exhaustive number of ways of saying "I don't care" in French, based on how common, vulgar and funny they each are. 

Column 1: Socially acceptable and common:
-Je m’en fiche
-J’en ai rien à faire*
(*less formal variation of “Je n’en ai rien à faire” which still belongs to this category)

Column 2: Vulgar and common enough to not be shocking:
-Je m’en fous
-(J’en ai) rien à foutre

Column 3: More vulgar, and common with a ‘teenage’ connotation:
-(Je)* m’en tape
-(Je) m’en branle
-(Je) m’en balec’
-(Je) m’en bats les couilles
-(J’en ai) rien à battre
-(J’en ai) rien à branler
-”Balec’”
(* omitting “je” is frequent and makes the expression even less formal)

Column 4: ‘Familiar’ (only somewhat vulgar, completely informal) and uncommon enough to be considered somewhat funny:
-J’en ai* rien à carrer
-J’en ai* rien à cirer
-Je m’en tamponne (le coquillard)
-Je m’en balance
-J’en ai* rien à péter
(* can be replaced with “Je n’en ai rien à …” to give it a formal connotation, in which case the expression belongs to category 6)

Column 5: Socially acceptable and uncommon/formal enough to be considered funny:
-Je m’en contrefiche
-Je m’en soucie comme d’une guigne
-J’en ai rien à fiche

Column 6: Vulgar and uncommon, somewhat formal:
-Je m’en contrefous

Column 7: Socially acceptable and very uncommon / very formal, enough to sound snobbish (and therefore a bit funny):
-Peu m’importe
-Il m’importe peu
-Je n’en ai cure
-Je ne m'en soucie guère

The IASIP meme of Charlie Kenny gesturing wildly at a conspiracy board, with the second picture added to his papers - the second picture being a table with 7 columns classifying an exhaustive number of ways of saying "I don't care" in French, based on how common, vulgar and funny they each are.

Le Merle à l'alambic by T. Pralinus

The French graphic novel Le Merle à l'alambic by T. Pralinus (aka Théo Kotenka and Théodore Koshka) was lovely and fun. Two women open an alchemy shop.

Note that the art is in black and white like a manga. There are about 240 pages + an epistolary short story that takes place shortly after.

My favourite character is the blackbird from the title, which is the name of the shop. There's f/f, as well as some minor m/m.

Sophocle: Antigone a violé la loi de la polis pour enterrer son frère? LA MORT

Euripide: je comprends qu’elle a tué quelques gens mais écoutez; Medea est mon petit miaou miaou modeste

Petard mais Euripide a un problème de fanservice tel que les ewoks de Star Wars c'est rien a côté.

Si on écoute les headcanons du mec

- en faite Hélène n'est jamais allé à Troy. c'est une image d'Hélène créée par Zeus qui a été emmené la bas. Donc les autres tragédiens rageux vous êtes prié d'arrêter de la cancel.

- Iphigénie ? la best girl? sacrifiée sur un bûcher par son père ? En faite Artemis l'a sauvé et l'a remplacé par une biche. Et du coup son frère Oreste la retrouvera plus tard en vie. Et avec Electre, ils auront donc le droit à un happy ever after, parce que c'est comme ça que se terminent les tragédies grecques normalement. Tout est logique ya rien a voir merci. 

T'as du bol d'être un tragédien grecque frérot, parce que que si tu écrivais aujourd'hui, tu te ferais roast sur les réseaux sociaux.

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

occasionnellement bilingue, souvent perplexe

J’utiliserai ce blog pour pratiquer mon français. Toute critique constructive est bienvenue. Désolé.e en avance pour ma grammaire. J’aime le manga, le judo, les sciences physiques, l’histoire, et la mythologie.
