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.

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.

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.

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).

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