Accussì va er monno [61 - That's how the world goes]; collected in Luigi Morandi, editor, Duecento sonetti in dialetto romanesco di Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli‎, Firenze: G. Barbera, 1870, page 142:Quanto sei bbôno a stàttene a ppijjà, Perchè er monno vô ccùrre' pe' l'ingiù! Che tte ne frega a tte? llassel' annà; Tanto che speri? aritiràllo su?You're so good at staying there taking pains, because the world wants to go to hell! Why do you care? Let it go. What are you even hoping? To lift it back up?(literally, “How you are good to stay there to take, because the world wants to run downwards! What to you is of importance to you? let it go; After all what do you hope? to pull it back up?”)

##### Usage notes

* Usually reinforced by adding niente, nulla, or a synonym:
       non me ne frega niente/nulla ― I don't give a damn (about that)
       non te ne frega un cazzo, vero? ― you don't give a fuck (about that), do you?
* Despite apparent ungrammaticality, the dative form of the personal pronoun is usually used twice: one as either a weak dative personal pronoun (me, te, ce, ve) placed before the ne part of the verb, or the compound gliene (for 3rd-person forms), the other with the preposition a followed by an accusative pronoun (me, te, lui/lei, noi, voi, loro), a demonstrative pronoun, or a noun:
       a me non me ne frega niente ― I don't give a damn (about that)
       ma che gliene frega, a quello? ― why does he care? (literally, “but what to him is important to that one?”)
       a Giovanni non gliene frega niente ― Giovanni doesn't care (about that)
   * The a + [me, te, lui/lei, noi, voi, loro] construction can be placed at either end of the phrase:
          a loro non gliene frega niente ― they don't give a damn (about that)
       is the same as:
          non gliene frega niente, a loro ― they don't give a damn (about that)
