CAN'T BREATHE

Normally used on tumblr. An expression used when something's so funny the person is laughing so hard they can't breathe. Or maybe they can and they're just exaggerating and are only laughing a little.

" OMG I AM LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW I CAN'T BREATHE THERE IS VOMIT EVERYWHRE HEEEELP"

can't be asked

The assumed origin of 'can't be arsed'. 'Can't be asked' does make some more sense, and the americans can even say it without it sounding too bad.

Teacher: I'm giving you another assignment that's due next lesson

American exchange student: I can't be asked to do that bro

Student: Man said asked

Can't be arsed

Used as slang for.

I can't be bothered.
I need to go to town but I can't be arsed.
I should be doing some work but I can't be arsed.

This is the original definition.
Alternate saying
I can't be asked.

Apparently more polite but means
I've gone deaf?
I don't understand the question?
I don't understand English

I could write more definitions but I can't be ARSED and no one has ASKED me to.

Can't be bov

Used to show a lack of interest in doing something. Infers that you are in such a lazy mood you can't even be bothered to finish saying the word "bothered", therefore shorten it to "bov".

Friend: Hey, you fancy popping in to town later?

You: Nah can't be bov.
