  What it means

  Literally “to lay a rag.” Means to not give a damn, to not care at all — to dismiss something completely with total indifference.

  Vocabulary

  • kłaść — to place / to lay (imperfective)
  • lacha — rag / cloth (colloquial)

  Grammar note

  'Lachę' is the accusative of 'lacha'. Often used with 'na coś': 'kłaść lachę na coś' (to not give a damn about something).

  Cultural context

  A very colloquial expression. The image of throwing down a rag in dismissal captures the casual indifference perfectly.
