“I don’t give a good goddamn whether a student smokes a joint now and again."
What does speaker mean by saying give a good?
ATTENTION: NOT A TEACHER
(1) May I add to the excellent answers from Teacher Rover and Member Allenman?
(2) I checked two good dictionaries, and maybe a definition for the adjective "good" in
such a sentence is "fairly large" or "sufficient or ample."
(3) In other words, I do
not have a large/sufficient amount of g------ (anger) regarding
the fact that a student may occasionally smoke that drug.
(4) Or, as many Americans might say:
I couldn't care less that a student
occasionally smokes that drug.
