cba in the new generation stands for the well known phrase âcanât be askedâ. This is a newer phrase that generation z has began using in oppose to âcanât be arsedâ as it is seen as rude and not very appropriate. Cba meaning you cannot ask this person to do anything, as they will refuse.
for example:
parent- âdo you want to come with me to do some shopping?â
child- ânah i cbaâ
parent- âi beg your pardonâ
child- âyou canât even ask me, thatâs how not bothered i am, i canât be askedâ.
