Note: I just read this word the other day. First time in my 62 years of being on this planet... Irish
insouciance
Insouciance is a feeling of careless indifference. There's a
certain amount of lightheartedness in insouciance, but rather than merely being
cheerful, someone with insouciance truly couldn't care less.
Insouciance has roots in the French in, meaning
"not," and se soucier, meaning "to care," giving the
English word its "uncaring" meaning. Insouciance can be a positive
state — like the childlike insouciance you feel when you are watching cartoons
instead of paying your bills. However, insouciance is not always so sunny.
Young voters are often accused of treating the right to vote with insouciance,
meaning they just can't be bothered.
