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'.
