tough titties

Tough titties is a vulgar dismissal meaning "too bad" or "that's unfortunate, but I don't care." It expresses unsympathetic acknowledgment of someone's complaint or misfortune, suggesting they should accept the situation rather than expect help or pity.

The phrase is crude but not deeply offensive, functioning as a more emphatic version of "tough luck."
