Perhaps arsed rather than asked

This was my catch phrase for years, and today I learned I used it wrong all the time.

Reminiscent of Diane Morgan's Mandy -- "I'm at my lowest egg"

Interesting, since such plausible mishearing are often called ‘Eggcorns’ (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcorn)

I never knew that, thanks -- includes one of my favourites, "damp squid", which I've heard for real ...

What's that supposed to be?

Ebb.

I thought this was an exclusively Hiberno twist, maybe not?
