More fitting would be German "das geht mir am Arsch vorbei" "it passes me by the ass".

If you say so.

The Dutch have this too.

Het zal me worst wezen

Google Translate puts that as "I don't care" but I'm guessing that's not the literal translation

I've definitely never heard of that, but I live in Belgium so that's probably why...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I never heard of it either! but I live in America and don't know any Dutch/Flemish/French

"It will be a sausage to me"

More from German:
"Das ist mir X" = "It is X to me,"
where X = banane, brot, bumbel, bums, egal, gleich, latte, pisse, relativ, schnuppe, schnurz, schwanz
(banana, bread, booger, fuck, equal, same, boner/slat, piss, relative, meteor/snuff, ?, tail/dick)
