prettygoodwordpococurante (po-koh-koo-RAHN-tee) - adj., caring little, indifferent, nonchalant. n., a careless or indifferent person.
And not, as I sometimes think, a slow musical tempo. Borrowed around 1815 from Italian, from poco, little + curante, caring, from curare, to care -- both halves coming from Latin roots, but I don't care enough to bother with those.
