Das ist mir Wurst

I don't care, it's all the same to me

In German

Das ist mir Wurst

dahs ist meer VOORST

Literal Translation

That is sausage to me

Meaning

I don't care, it's all the same to me.

Equivalent:"I don't care; It's all the same to me"

Origin:One theory suggests it comes from the idea that when making sausage, all kinds of scraps are mixed together, implying that everything is thrown together and doesn't matter much. Another links it to the phrase 'alles hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei' (everything has an end, only the sausage has two), implying indifference.
