cba

cba in the new generation stands for the well known phrase ‘can’t be asked‘. This is a newer phrase that generation z has began using in oppose to ‘can’t be arsed’ as it is seen as rude and not very appropriate. Cba meaning you cannot ask this person to do anything, as they will refuse.

for example:

parent- ‘do you want to come with me to do some shopping?’
child- ‘nah i cba’
parent- ‘i beg your pardon’
child- ‘you can’t even ask me, that’s how not bothered i am, i can’t be asked’.
