“Cant be arsed” or “can’t be asked”

[2ApplesShortOfABasket]

I didn’t realise until recently that people use one term or the other. If you say one of these terms, which one is it?

I say one, friend says another, we are both convinced our way is said more than the other.

People who say can't be asked are wrong and have misheard the expression

I've never heard asked. It's definitely wrong.

ARSED! Obviously as the other doesn't mean anything!

Never heard the 2nd one, doesn't make any sense

Arsed. If you’re a northerner it’s very obviously arsed.

Arsed.

Asked doesn't make sense.

I'd imagine any who hears asked is a sweet type who rarely or never swears.

Well neither does arsed really, does it. But it’s definitely arsed.

It's arsed.

Can’t be ARSED was my darling Mums favourite expression she would have been 94this month. Use this expression daily ,cannot understand why anyone would think it was asked 🤦‍♀️

"Can't be asked". Can't be asked what? That makes zero sense if your meaning is "can't be bothered". The phrase is "can't be arsed".

It means something like can't be bothered to move my arse

It’s definitely arsed. As other have said asked just doesn’t make sense.

arsed

It's can't be arsed.
Arsed meaning bothered. Can't be bothered. Don't want to.

Can't be arsed is the phrase meaning can't be bothered to do something .

Whoever is arguing can't be asked is incorrect.

Are you sure they're not saying 'assed' rather than 'asked'

"Can't be arsed" makes sense. It's shorthand for "can't be bothered to get up off my arse and do whatever it is"

Same if you're a Southerner. Used it in a meeting today.

Arsed.

Can't be asked is nonsense - of course you can be asked literally anything. I can be asked to jump over the empire state building or give birth to a litter of kittens! I can't DO it, but there's nothing stopping someone asking!

Asked? Ya what? Of course it isn't😆

Yes. As with ‘off their own back’ and ‘to have another thing coming’. These are misunderstandings, like ‘Chester draws’.

It's can't be arsed. Asked makes no sense - of course you can be asked.

I'm team Arsed

I can't understand where asked came from 🤔
Come on OP, own up which one you are!! And if you're asked, please explain why??

I've just repeatedly said asked in a sentence and I'm slightly alarmed that I don't seem to vocalise the K very much at all, it's more of a longer sss, so when I say 'asked' in casual conversation it must sound very much like arsed!! 😂 Something I think I'll try to change!
