Similar words

気きにしない
気にしない is a neutral, everyday way to say 'don't mind' or 'don't care'. 屁とも思わない is much stronger and more dismissive, literally 'don't even think of it as a fart'.
どうでもいい
どうでもいい expresses indifference ('whatever', 'I don't care either way'), but lacks the dismissive, contemptuous tone of 屁とも思わない.

Etymology

Literally 'not even think of (something) as a fart'. 屁 (へ, 'fart') is used metaphorically to mean something worthless or trivial. The expression likely arose from the idea that a fart is insignificant and not worth consideration.
