me when people ask me how to say "I don't care" in french

(description:)

The IASIP meme of Charlie Kenny gesturing wildly at a conspiracy board, with the second picture added to his papers - the second picture being a table with 7 columns classifying an exhaustive number of ways of saying "I don't care" in French, based on how common, vulgar and funny they each are.

Column 1: Socially acceptable and common: -Je m’en fiche -J’en ai rien à faire* (*less formal variation of “Je n’en ai rien à faire” which still belongs to this category)

Column 2: Vulgar and common enough to not be shocking: -Je m’en fous -(J’en ai) rien à foutre

Column 3: More vulgar, and common with a ‘teenage’ connotation: -(Je)* m’en tape -(Je) m’en branle -(Je) m’en balec’ -(Je) m’en bats les couilles -(J’en ai) rien à battre -(J’en ai) rien à branler -”Balec’” (* omitting “je” is frequent and makes the expression even less formal)

Column 4: ‘Familiar’ (only somewhat vulgar, completely informal) and uncommon enough to be considered somewhat funny: -J’en ai* rien à carrer -J’en ai* rien à cirer -Je m’en tamponne (le coquillard) -Je m’en balance -J’en ai* rien à péter (* can be replaced with “Je n’en ai rien à …” to give it a formal connotation, in which case the expression belongs to category 6)

Column 5: Socially acceptable and uncommon/formal enough to be considered funny: -Je m’en contrefiche -Je m’en soucie comme d’une guigne -J’en ai rien à fiche

Column 6: Vulgar and uncommon, somewhat formal: -Je m’en contrefous

Column 7: Socially acceptable and very uncommon / very formal, enough to sound snobbish (and therefore a bit funny): -Peu m’importe -Il m’importe peu -Je n’en ai cure -Je ne m'en soucie guère

daft punk is actually just the helmets, the guys they were possessing went back to normal frenchmen after they took em off. now the helmets are waiting in a hidden forest glade somewhere in provincial france and when someone puts them on again in the next century it will usher in a new golden age of daft punk

Françaises, Français, mes chers compatriotes.... Sujet de tension et de controverse, on se retrouve cette semaine afin de déterminer où commence le Sud de la France hexagonale.

J'ai donc placé 7 lignes sur cette carte à des endroits où potentiellement faire commencer le Sud. Votez ce qui s'en approche le plus pour vous et n'hésitez pas à préciser dans les tags si mes découpages ne vous conviennent pas.

#je commence : je suis du nord et si t'es pas du nord t'es du sud. voilà. #france #upthebaguette #what the france #tumblr français #french side of tumblr #frenchblr #frenchposting #polls #my polls #sondage

Translation of the text on the top of the pic': there are 12 different ways to write the 'S' sound

Translation of the text on the bottom of the pic': Not bad, huh? It's French.

Bonjour ! Je fais mon mémoire de master sur la place du français au sein des tags d'Archive of our Own. Afin d'avoir la perspective des utilisateur.ices du site, j'ai créé un petit sondage, et ça m'aiderait grandement si certain.es (ou beaucoup) d'entre vous pouviez y participer.

Hello! I'm doing my master's thesis on the French language is used in Archive of our Own's tagging system. I created a survey to collect users' perspectives and I would be very grateful if some (maybe many!) of you could take a few minutes and fill it in.

I have a theory about Paris so can you guys tell me whether you like Paris, are neutral about her or dislike her?

9 options, depending on your opinion on it and whether you're French/living in France, Parisien or a foreigner.

J'adore reblogguer des postes en français ou sur la France, parce que tu découvres à chaque fois un nouveau mutual qui est français aussi.

I was thinking about this and I'm curious to know, so I'm making a messy multilingual poll.

The poll question in Czech:

Kolik let je tomu nejstaršímu člověku, kterému tykáte a který NENÍ členem vaší rodiny?

And in French:

It can be any language with the same dichotomy, it doesn't have to be Czech or French, they just happen to be those that I speak.

If you want to, it'll be nice if you could share your own age in the tags (just an age range is fine, no need to tell me the exact number) to see how big the gap is. (I didn't want to make a poll with billion options...)

Edit: Just to be clear, I mean a specific person in your life with whom you speak, not what you would do in general.

Also, I fucking forgot 60-70, so in that case vote for what you think fits better...

Et, les Francophones, ignorez la faute de grammaire svp jpp......
