More fitting would be German "das geht mir am Arsch vorbei" "it passes me by the ass".

If you say so.

Google Translate puts that as "I don't care" but I'm guessing that's not the literal translation

Fine. Be that way. He was only asking for the literal translation. I care a cucumber.

I've definitely never heard of that, but I live in Belgium so that's probably why...

Es ist eine ältere Referenz, aber sie prüft aus

More from German:
"Das ist mir X" = "It is X to me,"
where X = banane, brot, bumbel, bums, egal, gleich, latte, pisse, relativ, schnuppe, schnurz, schwanz
(banana, bread, booger, fuck, equal, same, boner/slat, piss, relative, meteor/snuff, ?, tail/dick)
