shrug

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'who cares if' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'second husband gets wig?' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wig?' becomes 'rug' (rug is a slang term for a wig).
's'+'h'+'rug'='SHRUG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shrug that I've seen before include "Gesture expressing unconcern" , "woolly" , "Express silent doubt" , "Momentarily raise the shoulders" , "Show lack of concern" .)
