NO IMPORTAR VS NOT TO GIVE
To express our indifference about what someone does, thinks, or wants, we use the expression "I don´t give..." and here we can add a variety of words like a hoot , two shakes , a damn , a darn , a fuck , a shit , a toss ... instead of a simple "I don´t care." Why does language do that? To show different degrees of our indifference and reaction. There is a difference between " I don´t give a hoot " and " I don´t give a fuck ." In Spanish for "no importar" we will add, for emphasis, " un rábano , pimiento , carajo , bledo , comino , ardite , cuerno , pepino , pito , una mierda , tres puñetas , tres cojones " There is a difference between " no me importa un pimiento " and " no me importa un carajo ." All those tags add degrees of indifference, relationship with the speaker, emotional state, also variety, and glamour (?).
