can't be asked

Used by some Southern UK speakers in place of can't be arsed because they misheard it, or want to be more polite.

"I can't be asked to tidy my room - I'll do it tomorrow."

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
