Last year I saw one of NY Times best sellers was ‘The subtle art of not giving a f*ck’. Not giving a f*ck has become an art, I thought. But then I realized it has always been. It’s the modern application of ‘choose your battles wisely’, ain’t it?

I guess you can think of hundreds of contexts where you can say this, right? I’ll leave it up to your imagination.

The difference is that in Spanish it’s not about giving or not giving a dime. Funnily enough what we say is that situation or person sucks you an egg…

• Me chupa un huevo si Boca gana o pierde mañana
• La política me chupa un huevo
• Creo que me fue bien porque siempre me chupó un huevo lo que pensaba la gente

There is a workaround with CARAJO that you could use: ‘Me importa un carajo’.

And now that we’ve come this way, the imperative form of this expression means “blow me”. Of course, use it only if you are really angry.

• ¡Chupame un huevo, forro!

Happy Spanish learning,
