Originally the altered form of the abbreviation '
cba/cbf' meaning 'can't be arsed/fucked'. It is now a regular verb in English
slang, used in situations where it takes the place of similar phrases such as 'I can't be arsed', and 'I can't be fucked'. It is used normally by
lazy people who prefer to say cbz rather than its longer versions - the common use of cbz by a
person in conversations, sentences etc is a sign of their laziness. It has, however, become a very
popular phrase and is regularly used by people instead of using longer versions. It is now commonly used not only by
lazy people, in every tense found in the English language. An activity which is extremely reluctantly completed by someone can be identified by such phrases as: 'such a cbz' 'cbzed so much' (examples 3 and
4) and other similar phrases. A shorter, equivalent
way of using one of the above example phrases (when written) is adding additional z's on to the end of cbz (example 5). Cbz is pronounced 'ceebs'.
