A peculiarity of language

Thinkings and poems 1 Minute

I thought when I wrote the past post that it could be confusing for people learning English that  some people say

I don’t give f*ck about you

but we never say 

I do give a f*ck about you.

Why is that?  (setting aside the fact that many of us don’t ever use the word f*ck.I confess when I dropped a cast iron pan on my toe I did say it.)
