Zamanfou (), also known as ochaderfismos (), 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.
The term is derived from the French phrase ("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. The associated term ochaderfismos derives from the Greek phrase for "oh brother!" ().
