What is the meaning of this???
I just read an article and got a question...
"They think that the less they are paid, the less they need to give about their job professionalism."
Actually what is the meaning of "give about" in this sentence?

to give = to care
Some examples:
I don't give a rat's ass = I don't care one little bit.

It must be British English or just plain wrong, because I've never seen/heard that before. We in the U.S. wouldn't say it like that. We'd say something like "give a crap/**** about", or "care about". Not "give about".

"Give" is a verb, but "about" is a preposition. "About their job professionalism" is a prepositional phrase modifying "give".

It means, the less they care about it. It is short for "don't give a shit" ;)
