In Spanish, in particular in Spain, "cucumber" is seldom used. The order of most used according to a recent corpus [1] and google search suggestions would be:
I care a ... ("Me importa un ...")
- Amaranth, "bledo" (a plant)
- Penis, "carajo"
- Cumin, "comino"
- Bell pepper, "pimiento"
- Ball, "huevo"
- Cucumber, "pepino"

- ggambetta 5y agoMore specifically, in this context, "huevo" translates to "ball" as in "testicle", not as in "tennis ball"; and certainly not literally as "egg". In Uruguayan there's also "me chupa un huevo", "it sucks me a ball", which doesn't make much sense but sounds violent enough :)
- coldtea 5y ago>which doesn't make much sense Err, how doesn't it make sense? Doesn't it metaphorically refer to tea-bagging?
- ggambetta 5y agoIt might, I had never thought about it. It doesn't make much sense as in "doesn't imply 'I don't care about this'", but then again, very few of these examples do!
