How the hell has "I can't be arsed" turned into "I can't be asked"?
 

Actually, I know. It's because fucking morons mishear it. It pisses me off. At least "I can't be arsed" kind of makes sense in a swearing kind of way (I can't be fucked etc). "I can't be asked" does not make any sense at all you stupid fucking idiots!!!

You realise the irony of bemoaning people not being able to pronounce 'I can't be arsed'?

Besides which, I suspect you're falling foul of having non-Brisstawl ears.

Does this mean black people are now going around saying they 'can't be aksed'?

The Nicola Roberts stuff I can understand. Not this though.

Nicola would say it properly. FACT!

Actually I'm talking more about people who type it as "I can't be asked". It annoys me because I know that what's happened is they heard people say it when they were a child before they knew any swear words and just assumed that they were saying "asked" and that they're too moronic that still after all these years they haven't realised and loads of people just think it is "asked" now, and no one corrects them. It reminds me of all those idiots in school who would go around saying that a "twat" was a pregnant goldfish but with "asked" it's not quite bizarre enough for people to realise.

Hahhaha!


















Racist

It's like growing up thinking an Alsation dog was an Alstation. Everyone at my school called them Alstations. I'm sure a lot of them still do.

Exactly! And now everyone has alstations and that's now what they are called.

For the longest time I thought it was 'racialist'. Comes to something when a man can't even pronounce his own prejudice.

"Ah, our alstation had puppy alstations. Would you like one of the puppy alstations?" - pratts

Hahah.



When I was little I used to think that a chimney was a chimdey but my parents bloody well corrected me. Which makes me believe that all these "asked" people just have crap parents who can't be arsed with their children.

You should listen to someone in a Greggs in Stratford try and pronounce ciabatta. they end up just giving up and pointing (or getting a steak slice instead).

Haha, oh the British are sooo cultured.

Is this an exclusively southern phenomenon? I've never heard any deviation from 'arsed'.

YES! I called them chimleys for years.

Maybe. It's a bit of a chavvy phenomenon I think.


EDIT - reply to Danny Himself

Say that again? slower? Sorry, it's the accent. Are you saying you want to steal my hub caps?

It's a difficult word! In fact I stubbornly stilled called them chimdeys for ages despite my parents and older siblings constantly correcting me.
