Couldn’t be asked/arsed?

[purplebeansprouts]

Which do you use?

Arsed,

Couldnt be asked is not a phrase I've ever heard

Couldn't be arsed. "Asked" is just wrong not an alternative, surely? Like it's been misheard and repeated incorrectly.

Arsed.

Couldn't be asked is not a thing.

Never heard of couldn't be asked.

"Couldn't be asked" makes no sense. It's arsed, as in couldn't be bothered.

Arsed because it is correct.

Never heard 'couldn't be asked' before.

Is asked perhaps used in video captions on platforms that don't like swearing?

Arsed. Asked doesn’t make any sense at all, and I’ve never heard anyone say that.

Arsed. Asked makes no sense at all.

Never heard of couldn’t be asked either. It’s arsed.

I thought it was arsed but I've seen "asked" used a few times on here so thought maybe it was regional

If you've seen it on here I would assume it's an autocorrect error and not a deliberate choice. Perhaps.

Maybe just auto correct.

I've seen both and asked is definitely incorrect!

Well I feel silly. 49 votes in and it's 100% Arsed

Can't be asked is definitely used. I used to live in Essex my dad lives in south east London and you would hear certain people use can't be asked more than arsed.

Where I’m from, it’s misspelt this way so often that people will argue that “arsed” is wrong.

Anyone who thinks the correct word in the context is asked has another think coming. And I'll tell you that off my own bat

I think it’s just auto correct changing arsed to asked!

only on mnet. Other threads have discussed this!!

I'll be honest, I'm not from the UK and thought my DH was saying "can't be asked" for the first year we were together. It kind of makes sense I guess?

@DappledThings

you trouble maker!!

😂😂😂

People mishear it as asked and then say that.

Couldn't be asked is nonsense - I could be asked to fly to the moon powered by vimto. I can't do it, but it doesn't stop someone asking!

How can you tell the difference between asked and arsed in an Essex/SE London accent? Just arsking!
