  @VeroniqueB99 It's embarassing to me that this particular idiom in Polish is not particularly nice or innovative. One version is "I care a shit" (i.e. not at all) and the other is "I have this outfucked" (literally "wyjebane", nb. it's an example of the glorious Polish prefix-suffix syntax, which is more interesting, but not on topic).
