I Googled it, and it refers to an episode of The Simpsons.
Somehow, to me it seemed like something an old Yiddish gentleman would say.

In TMP usage, it does indeed seem to imply apathy.

Well, yes. I looked it up on Wikipedia. As everyone knows, if Wikipedia does not give an answer you are expecting, it must be wrong! grin

Surely it is contrary to the spirit of this word to show any interest in its origins.

Or, indeed, anything.

So, MJS is a follower of Dra, the Uncaring. I always knew he had 'cultist' written all over him. Unfortunately it is written in blood and what appear to be body parts. Hmmmmm, it's been said he put the 'Thug' in Thugee.

It is the sound made by a very old and sickly house cat.

I doubt it originates with the Simpson's but was certainly popularized by it.
