Cultural Context

In Spain, apathy is expressed through bodily fluids and genitalia. If you don't care, it makes your dick sweat ('me suda la polla') or your cunt sweat ('me suda el coño'). The imagery conveys that the issue at hand is so irrelevant that the only physical reaction it can muster is the mildest, grossest form of perspiration. It is a highly effective way to shut down an argument you have zero interest in.
