I remember this word from my childhood. My mother, aunt and I think grandmother would use it in the following way .. I don't give a hootenanny! Meaning "a darn" or perhaps "a damn'. Can anyone corrborate this usage?

Hi, dg, and welcome aBoard. I've heard "don't give a hoot" all my life; I guess your family just added on to it.

OED - HOOT- an inarticulate exclamation; a shout of laughter.
HOOT - Money, especially as recompense.
HOOT -Laugh loudly; assail with shouts of disapproval, derisio; drive away by hooting.
HOOTENANNY - a gadget; an informal party esp with folk music.
I have heard hoot used as in "I don't give a hoot" and
Hootenanny as in "It was a great Hootenanny" but never
heard "Never gave a hootnanny""
Hmmmmm

I never gave a hootenanny cos I thought the neighbours might object to the noise.
