tough titty

No sympathy here

Tough titty is a vulgar, dismissive way of saying "too bad" or "that's unfortunate, but I don't care." It brushes off complaints or appeals for sympathy: You missed the deadline? Tough titty.

The longer form tough titty said the kitty adds mock nursery-rhyme flavor.

The expression is crude but usually more flippant than hostile.
