* Seems to be of HK/Cantonese origin: it's in Cantonese dictionaries; it has more hits from HK, including from Legco transcripts, which would indicate it's common enough to use in formal settings. In the Mainland, it seems more slangy, and the song 不知所谓 by HK singer Eason Chan is often referenced, which would also indicate the word became known in the PRC through HK culture.

“不知所谓”有两方面含义:
1、表示行事莫名其妙、没有规章;不知道所说的是什么,等于不知所云的意思。

那几个人怎么能不被拘捕呢?国际法难道不禁止人威胁炸飞机吗?他们怎么会不被关到泰国的监狱里呢?这真是不知所谓。
How were these people not arrested? Aren't there international laws against threatening to bomb an airplane? How were they not thrown in a Thai jail? This makes no sense

对我来说,这样的结果已经一连串永无止境的不知所谓的问题。
The result, for me, has been an endless stream of ridiculous questions.

外交官将这不知所谓的会议推到极致,他们热衷于持续到凌晨的讨论,或开"三件衬衫会议",就是连续开36个小时的峰会。
Diplomats play this nonsense up, talking with relish about rows that will last till dawn, or about summits that will be "three-shirt meetings", ie, will go on for 36 sleepless hours.

很多知識份子以至各界人士,例如社工界,其 實凡有思想的人都會越來越覺得這“關愛基金 ” 不知所謂。
Many intellectuals and people in various sectors, such as the social worker sector ― in fact, anyone who has a sensible mind will find this Community Care Fund nonsensical as they think more about it.

事實擺在眼前,不單是承諾會交代終極方案的曾蔭權食言,林瑞麟 局長依然故我,連唐英年司長也是嘻皮笑臉的,交出一 個 不知所謂的 “2012方案”,將普選願望置諸不理。
The fact before us is that Donald TSANG has broken his promise of presenting an ultimate solution; Secretary Stephan LAM has not changed a bit; and, even Chief Secretary for Administration Henry TANG has flippantly put forward a ridiculous "2012 package" which completely ignores the aspiration to universal suffrage.

即使國家最高領 導人前 來中華人民共和國香港特別行政區,政府也要隱瞞真相,不讓 他看到那 麼多“水馬”,這 位 警務處處長真的不知所謂,任 由警校教材 製造仇恨,教導學警痛恨示威者和記者。
The Commissioner of Police is indeed nonsensical, allowing the teaching materials of the Police College to create hatred and teach the police cadets to hate demonstrators and reporters.
