: Does any one know the meaning of the saying "I don't give a jack"?
Is it possible that the phrase was "I don't give jack"? That would mean, I don't care anything, I don't care at all. Perhaps the phrase was written by someone not entirely at home with it. Normally, "jack" in a phrase like this is not a commodity measured in units, like "a jack." I don't myself use or hear used the word in this meaning, but I would much more expect to see, "I don't care jack."
