'I don't care a farthing' = tôi cóc cần.

Ví dụ
The East India Company maintained a small fleet in Bombay habour to deter attacks, but as ensign John Burnell wrote in 1710: “Angria doth not care a farthing…sometimes braving and threatening them in the Port.”

The media grind all this grist far too finely and often not too fairly. Most of us wait for results, knowing the process is carried out by well-intended legislators of limited talent, along with a few too many zealous masochists and some possibly certifiable pathological psyches. Best practices indicate most of us are better adjusted if we ignore all that stuff until something does look likely to be resolved. Case in point: The 2016 Media Election began sometime this spring. The 2016 People's Election well get serious next August. Gotta understand money, motives and ratings. We should not care a farthing right now.

What dangers you can make us scorn (khinh miệt, khinh rẻ)! With ale (rượu bia), we fear no evil; With whisky, we’ll face the Devil! The ales so swam in Tam’s head, Fair play, he didn’t care a farthing for devils. But Maggie stood, right sore astonished, Till, by the heel and hand admonished, She ventured forward on the light; And, vow! Tom saw an incredible sight! Warlocks and witches in a dance: No cotillion (điệu nhảy côticông), brand new from France, But hornpipes, jigs, strathspeys, and reels, Put life and mettle in their heels.
