Zamanfou (Greek: ζαμανφού), also known as ochaderfismos (ωχαδερφισμός), is a widely accepted as prevalent attitude/approach to life in Greece that is nevertheless classed by some as a counterculture phenomenon, which involves social loafing as its principal characteristic.[1]
The term is derived from the French phrase je m'en fous ("I don't give a damn"); the expression became known to Greeks before World War II, when French was the most common foreign language in Greece.[citation needed] The associated term ochaderfismos derives from the Greek phrase for "oh brother!" (ωχ αδερφέ!, och aderfé!).
