I Don’t Give a Jot
Meaning
Someone who doesn’t care about what is going on.
Example
Henry came up with an alternative saying for I Don’t Give A Jot when he told his boss in French – Je Ne Give A Pas.
Origin
Jot in this expression refers to the letter Iota, which is the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet and came to imply the least of anything. The same occurred with the Hebrew yod which later came to be translated as Jot.
