It’s a famous and very used expression that means for us: “I don’t care“. This is informal and you shouldn’t use it in official situations, like with teachers, boss, etc.
It’s informal but the French language has a lot of much more harsh ways to express “I don’t care“, more on that below.
It’s also useful to know that a “polite” way of saying it exists and it’s “Peu importe” (It doesn’t matter much). Ça m’est égal. (“It’s egal to me“) is quite polite too. Check the “Synonyms” chapter below for tons of variations.
Someone asks you which is your favorite football team, but you don’t care about football… you can say “Le foot je m’en fiche.” (I don’t care about football)
