Ive never heard that term before.

You can also hear:

(No) me importa un bledo / un rábano / un pimiento.

Here you can see some "bledos" (I wonder if many Spanish native speakers know what a "bledo" is):

I don't think many will know.
When I was a teenager I was told it was the seed of amaranth, but I was contented with such answer and never looked it up.

So bledo is used like slang?

Yes, just like 'hoot' in the phrase "I don't give a hoot," 'bledo', 'rábano' and 'pimiento' all have another meaning. It's when the phrase is considered as a whole that the slang meaning takes effect.
