who cares
So what, then?
Who cares is a dismissive rhetorical question meaning "it doesn't matter" or "I'm not interested." It signals indifference to whatever has just been said or proposed: Who cares what they think?
The phrase can sound callous when someone else's concern is genuine, but often it's simply shorthand for "this isn't worth worrying about."
