In the first few (or so) minutes of the movie "Bugsy" http://www.culturalianet.com/art/ver.php?art=2032 he verbaly announces his proposed deal to cut himself in on another gangster's territory. The other gangster says he's "disinterested". Bugsy's reply is (paraphrasing) "'Disinterested' means ignoring or not caring whereas 'uninterested' means an active refusal".

Anyone else know of this distinction, or does this evoke feelings of untinction?
