It's the first, I think. A more concise way of saying "I cannot be bothered to do what is being asked of me".

Pretty sure the latter is just a more vulgar substitute, imitating the similar sound of "asked".

Both mean the same thing.

Can't be arsed

@TeeEm stop throwing me pity reps lool

ohhh i misunderstood, i thought you were wondering whether people said "cant be assed" or "cant be arsed" and you made a mistake in the poll

I have never heard of "i cant be asked" if im honest, its always been "cant be arsed/assed" to me :dontknow:

Wait what, Im pretty confused now.
I always thought it meant I can't be asked. But if I were to say it I would probably pronounce it arsed.
So its actually arsed? Not asked? Thats pretty weird.

I remember once when I was younger I said I can't be asked. And my dad was like don't be so rude don't say that word.Because he thought I said arsed. I was thinking what are you on? What word was rude
