Hell if I care!


Explanation:
In Arabic letters, the term is written طز

It is a vulgar vernacular term showing both disregard to and disrespect for a person or a group. Its meaning is similar to "I don't give a damn!" or "Hell if I care!" except that it has an added personal dimension. The object of "not caring" here is not merely an action or a situation, but a person: The speaker does not care what the other person thinks how the other person feels. For example, a student might say to another student, "if the teacher does not like my attire, TUZZ!"

The term is used in both Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean region, but has acquired popularity in other Arab regions as well, including the Gulf region, where it is not indigenous.
