Morphology
all + ceebs
The noun 'ceebs' is informal slang (a clipped form meaning roughly 'can't be bothered') and is not semantically transparent or predictable from its parts; knowing 'all' alone does not reveal this slang sense. Because the core lexical item is non-standard and idiomatic, a B1 learner who only knows the literal constituents would not be able to derive the meaning, so the expression is opaque.
Etymology
All ceebs comes from people shortening the words 'can't be bothered' to the letters C.B., which were said like 'see-bees' and then written as 'ceebs'. So, all ceebs means 'can't be bothered' or 'feeling very lazy'.
