What does 안물안궁 mean?
안물안궁 (an-mul-an-gung) means: A cheeky shorthand for 'didn't ask, don't care' used to lovingly roast a friend who is oversharing trivial nonsense.
Speakers use this four-syllable compound abbreviation in casual text messaging and informal chats to jokingly brush off a friend sharing unnecessary details or self-absorbed gossip. It appears as a standalone interjection or a quick reply to halt a conversational tangent. The form draws directly from the phrase '안 물어보았고, 안 궁금하다' to signal mock indifference among close acquaintances.
Among friends, this can feel like a light, theatrical eye-roll rather than a genuine cold shoulder, depending on the tone and existing rapport.
