That's fine.  But in normal polite society, if someone mentions
something and you go out of your way to say you don't know what it is,
that's commonly interpreted as a request for more information about it.

There are a *lot* of things I don't care about.  I express that by not
commenting on them.

Try to be less rude.

I'll assume that you don't care about this either; no need to tell us.
