Word of the day II: Menefreghismo

It's Italian for the particular quality of not giving a damn. I like the fact that the Italians have a word for this. So it gets added to the list, along with schadenfreude and sisu.

- The Italians have a word for it
- What word what is it?
- A thunderbolt or something
- What, you mean the Italian word for thunderbolt?
- Yeah, something like that. I don't speak Italian myself, you understand
- No.
- But I knew a man who did.
