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

i never know how to act around binary queers who say things like "i love u women 🥰 men dni 😠" because i'm a woman, man & genderless being simultaneously. my gender fluctuates by the hour. so, like. is any detectable amount of man™ just unacceptable to you? or does my woman percentage™ cancel that out? & how do you feel about my genderless percentage™?

many of you claim to LOVE nonbinary people & yet refuse to let go of your binaries. help lol.

Tonight's mood:

A picture of Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation, captioned with top text and bottom text. Top text reads: "Suffering for the furtherance of a cause is a noble act; suffering without aim or purpose is stupidity." Bottom text reads: "Let us take ibuprofen together."

(Thank you, Mr. Worf.)

So I've been learning French for a while and 'faire' is actually an incredible word. Like what a fucking breakthrough in economy of language.

Faire is a verb that is usually translated into English as "to do/to make," but it covers way more actions than that, which is very confusing for new speakers. because (I have realized) that's not really what faire means.

Faire is actually a word that just gestures vaguely in the direction of the object of the sentence and goes "you know." "Je fais du velo." "Je fais du courses." "Je fais mes valises." I'm biking. I go grocery shopping. I'm packing my bags. You're just sort of pointing at a bike and going "you know, the obvious thing you'd do with it."

English: "You mean RIDE it??"

French: "Sure whatever."

Like idk I just really enjoy the concept of a catch-all verb that you can just slap onto almost anything because who fucking gives a shit, you get the idea. There's a bike. what do you think I'm going to do with it.
