뜻
To worry about unnecessary things.
문화적 배경
The phrase reflects a certain 'stoic' approach to life. Russians often value the ability to ignore minor inconveniences to focus on survival or 'the big picture.' In schools, students are often told not to 'забивать голову' with subjects that aren't their 'profile' (specialization), reflecting a very focused educational path. With the rise of 'mental health awareness' in cities like Moscow, this phrase is sometimes criticized as being 'dismissive' of anxiety, leading to more nuanced usage.
Use 'всякой всячиной'
To sound very native, say 'забить голову всякой всячиной' (all sorts of things).
Don't use with 'в'
Remember: 'забить голову', NOT 'забить в голову'.
