sans souci
Sans souci means 'without worry' or 'without any trouble'. French speakers use it to say something happens smoothly, no problem: rival fans mixing at a match sans souci, a trip that goes sans souci. You'll also spot it in hotel names worldwide — a promise of a stay free of cares.

C'est clair! Mais bon, l'ambiance ici au pub est quand même pas mal. Tu as vu tous ces supporters irlandais? Ils sont super sympas, on a même partagé des pintes avec eux tout à l'heure.
Definitely! But hey, the atmosphere here at the pub is pretty good too. Did you see all these Irish supporters? They're super nice, we even shared pints with them earlier.

C'est ça que j'adore dans le rugby. Les supporters des deux équipes peuvent regarder le match ensemble sans souci. Du coup, c'est toujours la fête, peu importe le résultat.
That's what I love about rugby. Supporters from both teams can watch the match together without any problems. So it's always a party, regardless of the result.
