Bedeutung
To be completely indifferent or unaffected by a situation or criticism.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Be-khiali' (being without care) is often celebrated in Persian tea-house culture as a way to survive political and economic instability. This idiom is a linguistic tool for that survival mechanism. In Tehran, this idiom is often paired with a shrug. It’s a sign of 'coolness' among youth to show that social pressure doesn't affect them. While the idiom itself is folk-based, the theme of 'not being moved by the world' is a core Sufi tenet. However, the 'flea' version is the more 'down-to-earth' cousin of those high-minded concepts.
Use 'Ham' for impact
Adding 'ham' (ککش هم نگزید) makes you sound much more like a native speaker. It adds that 'not even' emphasis.
Watch your tone
If you say this about a superior, it might sound like you're calling them irresponsible. Use with caution in the workplace.
