give a goddamn
Bother at all
To give a goddamn is to care about something.
Almost always appears in the negative: I don't give a goddamn what they think.
The phrase is vulgar and emphatic—stronger than "give a damn" but interchangeable with it.
Sometimes shortened to give a damn or intensified further: I couldn't give a goddamn.
