| 词源 | don’t give a rap. Counterfeiters took advantage of the scarcity of copper coins in the early 18th century and began flooding Ireland with bogus halfpence. These worthless coins became known as raps and inspired the expression not worth a rap, “of no value at all,” and I don’t give a rap, “don’t care in the slightest.” |
