don’t give a rap毫不介意

【使用地区】：爱尔兰

【释义】：

Not to care in the slightest．Counterfeiters took advantage of the scarcity of copper coins in the early eighteenth century and began flooding Ireland with bogus halfpence．These worthless coins became known as raps and inspired the expressions not worth a rap and I don’t give a rap．

意义如上所示。在18世纪初，货币伪造者趁铜币缺乏之机，开始将半便士的假币大量输入爱尔兰。这些没有价值的硬币被人称为raps，由此产生了not worth a rap(毫无价值)和I don’t give a rap(我毫不介意)等用法。
