actually three different ways. It could be said as no skin off my nose. No skin

off my teeth or no skin off my back. Okay. Let's look at the note here. All three of

these phrases basically mean that a certain issue or matter would not affect

one adversely. So it won't affect you in a negative way or in a bad way. In a way

you are saying you are neutral and don't really care because it won't hurt you. So

that's kind of what you're saying when you say this phrase. With any of these

three words at the end. All right. Let's continue. The first thing to note is that

the phrase no skin off my nose tends to be more used in the UK. So yeah. As an

American I don't remember hearing this one too much, but yeah and I've seen

online that's what they mostly say. So this one's mostly a UK phrase. No skin

off my teeth is more common in the US and this one actually might seem strange

to people in the UK. And it's also even a little strange in the u.s. because of

course your teeth have no skin. So how can you... how could something be no skin off

my teeth. Now. Of course your teeth are attached to your gums which go up but I

don't even know if we really consider the gums as skin either. So but anyway

it's it's still a common phrase. It's and it has basically the same meaning it's

no skin off my nose, and no skin off my back.

All right. And no skin off my back could be used in both either in the UK or in the

US. All right. Let's continue. Some believe no skin off my nose may have come from

the world of boxing. It seems to have appeared in the early 1900s

and the idea alludes to a boxers vulnerability of being hit

in the nose. Yeah. If you're a boxer, they hit you in the face a lot. So the nose is the

thing that's pointing out more. So I don't know will they really take you

some skin off. I don't know sometimes they might bleed , but that's the idea.

Okay. No skin off my back is more clear. It is believed to come from the practice

of disciplining sailors by flogging them. So basically whipping them. If one is

whipped it will literally take off the skin on one's back. We've probably all

seen movies where somebody's being whipped. And then you, you see that it

does or at least it's supposed to take the skin off ... you see the the red scars

or the red marks of them being whipped. Okay. If you are not the person being

whipped, well at that point it was no skin off your back because you know, well I'm

not being whip, so it's not hurting me. I guess that's the idea behind it. All

right. Good. And. Yeah. No skin off one's teeth may have been a mix of the phrase

by the skin of one's teeth which , which actually now that has a different

meaning. That means barely or hardly like you,

you, you just barely got by. By the skin of your teeth. Only by a very little

amount. And the skin off one's nose. Somehow they might have joined together

and , the skin off one's teeth. That's what a

lot of people think. All right and we give three examples of how it's used

even though with all these examples you could really trade any one of those

endings. So here's number one. I don't care who wins. Either way it is no skin

off my nose or you could have says no skin off my teeth. No skin off my back.

All right and number two here. Whether they find him innocent or guilty ,

it's no skin off my teeth. And the third one here. Whether that company goes

bankrupt or not, it's no skin off my back. So you're saying well it's not going to

hurt me. It's not my problem. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope you

found it informative. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
