weɪn interjection
Slang (origin: German youth slang, late 1990s–early 2000s) (informal)
1. Used to express indifference or lack of concern.
The slang wayne emerged in German-speaking internet forums and gaming communities in the late 1990s, originating as a phonetic shorthand for „Wen interessiert’s?“ (literally “Who’s interested?” or “Who cares?”). The phrase was often slurred together in fast speech, sounding like “Wayne interessiert’s?” Over time, wayne became a standalone response to dismiss unimportant information, much like egal or juckt nicht. While its popularity peaked in the 2000s, it remains in use, particularly in Switzerland, where it still punctuates moments of casual indifference.
