'@rse' Was Accepted In A Scrabble Like Game...

[sandyRoe]

...but '@rsed' wasn't. Why not?

[elliemay1]

should have been IMO!
arsed
v. Simple past tense and past participle of ***. Bothered (as in can't be bothered to...).

[Cloverjo]

In my dictionary, it's only there as in "can't be @rsed" rather than a word in its own right.

[Togo]

A parse will have been parsed. Were they parsing about. Either both wrong or both right in my view.

[Hopkirk]

Is there a verb arsed?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, see Ellie's x&p first answer.

[Mamyalynne]

c&p

[Cloverjo]

I've just put it into an online Scrabble solver, and it's allowed.

I suppose it depends on which dictionary is the accepted one for that game.

[Jackdaw33]

It isn't a verb per se, merely a past participle which requires an auxiliary verb. Interestingly, the noun is not allowed on AB but arsed is.

[ChillDoubt]

For me, confusion abounds over this because from a young age I've always termed it as can't be ASKED, never as @rsed.

[Jackdaw33]

That might well be the origin, Chill, given that in the south ask is pronounced arsk.

[Tilly2]

Whereas up here, asked and arsed don't sound anything like each other.

[Togo]

No Tills not "ast" and not "arst" cannot be confused. (^_*)

[Hopkirk]

Sorry Jackdaw, it's a long time since I had English lessons.

some years ago i was on a football chat site and i talked about arsenal and when i looked for reactions it was spelled as a*&%nal. i wonder if a*&%ene wegner has the same difficulties?
