To ignore or disregard something completely.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The idiom is deeply tied to the 'Kuruc' identity—a historical rebel figure who is defiant and independent. In the capital, this is often used to describe the 'Pesti vagány' (Budapest cool guy) who doesn't care about social norms. The 'fityisz' gesture (related to fitty) was once used to protect children from the 'evil eye' (szemmelverés). Used frequently in Hungarian 'Sigma' or 'Chad' memes to describe someone who ignores mainstream opinions.
Use it for weather
If you want to sound like a native, use this when it's raining or snowing and you're going out anyway. It shows great spirit!
The -ra/-re rule
Never forget the -ra/-re suffix. Without it, the sentence sounds broken to a Hungarian ear.

Not for bosses
Don't tell your boss 'Fittyet hányok a munkára' unless you want to be fired. It's too defiant.
