What people used to say before smart humans invented "can't be asked" as a much more sensible replacement.
The advantage of using the phrase in question, as opposed to the aforementioned precursor, is simply one of sensibility, logic and meaning. This is evident simply from the definitions, explained thusly:
"can't be asked"
- 1 - To be incapable of fulfilling request (asking me to do this would be fruitless; implication: I am lazy / I see no point
"can't be arsed"
- 1 - I am incapable of becoming a human behind (fact, no need to be stated)
- 2 - I am incapable of becoming a fool (invariably incorrect, self-fulfilling by use of the phrase being defined)
- 3 - I am incapable of being kicked in the head by a donkey (implication: there are no donkeys in the vicinity; the arguable sole fair usage of the term provided there is indeed such a lack of equine creatures in the vicinity)

Get the smart arsemug. by J Nesbitt December 3, 2003
Get the arse biscuitmug. Losing the feeling momentarily from your bum to your toes. Accompanied by a tingly feeling when it comes back. Usually brought on by fear, the term refers to the idea that you have dunked your bicuit in a cup of tea, and it has now turned to mush - this is what happens to the lower half of your body.
Watching a TV programme about space, the universe, other cosmic forces - the fear that one cant comprehend we are living on a little ball floating in the middle of nothing that goes on forever - brings on the biscuit arse reaction. It's easier to just think the world is flat - no biscuit arse then.
