Description
In "Gone With the Wind" they stressed the "give" in "give a damn", rather than the normal stress on "damn", because they thought it was swearing.
But the phrase "I couldn't give a damn" actually comes via the British Army in India, where the "Dam" was a virtually worthless small coin.
Hair is Mylochka's "Miss Ruby with bangs" - very suitable for the Old South.
