(v) to spam co-workers or familiars repeatedly with increasingly desperate pleas that they a) vote for the spammer in a middling to wholly inconsequential online popularity contest, b) participate in some activity of declining worth for the exclusive benefit of the spammer, or c) do both at the same time.
The term is new, though the phenomenon it names is not. This entry is an attempt to aid the tubes' self-understanding, particularly as it relates to the taxonomy of trolls.
Some points concerning "tbecking" may aid netizens in identifying a "tbeck" when he or she is encountered:
1) Tbecking is often committed in an effort by the offender to postpone for a few moments more the dawning in their conscious understanding of the reality of their utter pointlessness.
2) Tbecking is agnostic regards the spamming medium.
3) Tbecking is sometimes a "gateway" method of spamming, in that little more is required to become a "tbecker" than an inflated sense of self-worth and a relative lack of self-consciousness. Many who would never think of spamming for the conventional reasons will tbeck without thinking worse of themselves. This blitheness rests upon a defective understanding.
4) If someone points out to the tbecker that they are, indeed, spamming, the tbecker will become indignant and accusatory rather than marking their withdrawal with an apology. The reaction to this confrontation is a useful heuristic for identifying true from accidental tbecks.

Get the don't be hatin mug.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)
