Actually “arsed” isn’t even a word. “Arse” is a polite slang for “ass” so what would “assed” mean?
“I can’t be asked” is much closer to the meaning “I can’t be bothered”. Used all the time around here. Normally in a situation where someone considers themselves so above a task that no one can tell them to do it much less even ask them to do it.
Good on you for confessing your evil ways.
Um… what?
“Ass” is a corruption (or Americanization, if you prefer) of “arse”, dear.
Quite right. In case there are any doubts, here is a cite (one of many easily found).
Either was ass-arse or arse-ass they both are meant to be a name for your back-side.
My point still stands, what does “arsed” mean and is there even such a word?
And even if “arse” did come first it doesn’t negate the fact that people still use it as a polite form of “ass”.
Wow, there are few things more entertaining than watching someone be adamantly, vehemently, outrageously wrong while in the midst of correcting somebody else. Unless maybe it’s watching that happen on a board dedicated to fighting ignorance.
Separated By a Common Language, a blog by an American linguist living in England. You can scroll up from the selection I’ve quoted above to find more support for RNATB’s and Indistinguishable’s correction to you that ‘ass’ is, in fact, the corruption of the original ‘arse.’
Just because you don’t happen to know the idiom doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I’ve never heard anybody use the phrase “can’t be asked to” do something, meaning they’re too lazy to bother with it, but I trust you that around your parts it is an idiomatic phrase meaning just what you say it does. Try being arsed to Google something yourself before you stride into a thread to call another poster a fucking moron.
Not very bright are we? “Arsed” is the word from which we Americans got the word “ass,” which can (in British English, which I also heard growing up due to my relatives being from the Isles) be used as a verb meaning “bothered.” When a person says that they “cannot be arsed” to do something, it means “I cannot be bothered to do that.” Thank you for making me giggle, though. Where in the living fuck you would think that “asked” makes any sense, whatsoever in my statement is beyond me.
ETA, I know this was covered by other posters, but ya know, I always like to point out the blindingly obvious when I can. Oh, and I also love how my threads always seem to take on a life of their own. I will say that nauseous/nauseated never bothered me, but people who say “noxious” when they obviously mean “nauseous” are another pitting entirely. I promise not to get started on my soapbox about loose vs lose – because that one actually makes me want to get violent 
All right, you win (white flag), point taken, ignorance fought, yada-yada.
I was just trying to poke fun at your outrage over the hanged-hung deal.
How about this:
It’s “Clitoris” not “Litoris”. (fuck!)

I was really hoping one of your examples would be a link to your SDMB user profile 
Commas are, apparently, spliced.
Fowler considers the juncture of juxtaposed related extremely short (2-3 word) main clauses by commas to be acceptable style.
Roses are red, violets are blue.
Splices are wrong, but so are you.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “sneaked”. I’ve heard “snuck” all my life. Where do people say “sneaked”?
From the newspapers, today:
“Six relatives of Mexico’s Agriculture Minister Alberto Cardenas, including two girls aged seven and eight, were found executed in his home”
No. They. Weren’t. The word you need is murdered. Please do not bastardise the word “execute” any time somebody’s murder happens to involve a single bullet wound to the head.
Thankyou.
“Execute” means “murder in a planned fashion” (cite), so yes, they were.
Note to everyone: the word is noted – as I noted to you, you noted to him, he sent the note…NOT…NOTATED, you idiot. “Notated” is not a noun, a verb, an adjective, nor an adverb. There is no such word, and no wishing in the world will make it so.

Over here
Only because the word’s been bastardised for a couple of decades now (yes, I am feeling a little prescriptivist tonight, why do you ask?). It started off with reports about “the execution-style merder of blah blah blah” and then we all just got lazy.
Seriously - what word are we now going to use to unambiguously mean “killed by the government by judicial procedure as a punishment for some crime”? What do we gain by letting execute slide into “murdered in a particular way”?
Why do we need a specific word to refer to that? As to resolving the ambiguity, we’d do it in much the same way that any other English sentence (which almost universally have multiple parse trees) are resolved—using common sense.
We get a single word describing a certain style of murder:
“Execute” versus “murdered in a particular way”.
Works for me.
