Is THIS the source of the expression? Seriously?
You can cover up a lot of private business with a fig leaf, Father Steve.
But you don't hear "I don't give a fig!" any more ... and that's regretable.
All you ever hear is "I don't give a ....!"
It leaves less to the imagination.
That brings me back to my discussion with The Fallible Fiend (who is nobody's fiend, by the way).
Imagination is all too rare a commodity.
Seriously.
