CBF means “can’t be fucked,” a blunt way to say you have zero energy or desire to do something. It’s casual, very informal, and usually signals that you just don’t care enough right now.
People drop CBF in texts or group chats when they’re too lazy to meet up, cook, or reply to messages. “It’s raining—CBF going to the gym” or “CBF cooking, let’s just order pizza.” It’s short, gets the point across fast, and keeps the tone light.
