gives a fuck
Shows genuine concern
To give a fuck is to care about something.
The phrase appears almost exclusively in the negative: I don't give a fuck what they think, She doesn't give a fuck about the rules.
Someone who gives no fucks is indifferent to criticism or consequences.
The rare positive form emphasizes genuine investment: This is the first job where I actually give a fuck.
