Title: People You Don't Give a Toss About.
Post by: mongers on February 15, 2022, 05:14:33 PM
What is says in the title, nominate someone you don't give a f*** about and don't want to hear anything more of?

I'll nominate Novak Djokovic :

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

I hadn't heard of Djokovic until the Australia stuff.

I need some clarification.

Is this people we feel hostility towards?

People we are indifferent towards?

People we used to admire but no longer do?

What about people you don't give a toss about but you do give a f*** about?


"What do you think about Sandy?"

"Two fucks, no toss."

Djokovic is a good choice; I was watching the news last night and suddenly he was on spouting his theories about vaccinations so I switched off.

I can remember that because it was really recent.

That Milo chap that Marti was keen on. Justin Timberlake...who is he?

....and Harry Styles. I presumed he was one of the stars of that programme about morons in Essex; but, looking him up, it turns out he is a singer-sonwriter from Birmingham  :hmm:

I mean. Its a bit of a impossible schrodingers question. If I can name somebody I clearly do give somewhat of a toss.
The only  in Chelsea shore lot for instance.
I know they exist. I clearly give them some attention.
The Slovakia equivalent? Fuck knows if it even exists. No toss given there.... Though now I've thought of it so I do....

There are Ant and Dec for instance; I know they are very important to many British people...but I still don't know which one is which.

Ditto.
Since I am not a British or Spanish subject, the huge coverage of the British and Spanish royal families (the former nearly constant) baffles me.

Any of the Kardashians
Kanye West (who's effectively a Kardashian)
Any of the Trumps
Any anti-vaxxer

I'm sure there are more, but that's a good start.

Hello Meri, some good choices there.  :)

Hi Meri.

I'm indifferent to the Kardashians and Kanye West, except that I don't like the fact they made ass implants somewhat popular.

I'm hostile, contemptuous and alarmed about Trump.

I'm disappointed by Aaron Rogers.

I would say anyone from any entertainment reality tv show.
I make an exception about documentaries retracing the life/work of some group of people, like say, police officers on indian reservations, but I don't give a flying fuck about X from popular reality tv show CBA doing anything.
Also, I really don't care if a particular actor or actress is banging some other public personality.

Nothing against Djokovic, but I just don't care about all the fuss over whether he can play or not.

Any celebs who have become insufferable elitists, out of touch.
