"Non me ne frega un cavolo" is pretty common in Northern Italy, though I'd often go for the more vulgar "non me ne frega un cazzo." (I don't care/give a dick)

"Non me ne frega un cavolo" is pretty common in Northern Italy, though I'd often go for the more vulgar "non me ne frega un cazzo." (I don't care/give a dick) Never heard the one about the horse either.

Ahh, I see, I didn't get the meaning of "give" as "care", now it makes sense.

Yup, with "frega" probably translated into "rub".

  "fregare" means to rub. "fregarsene" means to care. I forget my Italian grammar classes, but I think they're considered two different verbs.

    To rub is "sfregare", "fregare" means either to steal something or to con someone. As you said, "fregarsene" means to care.
