A term for getting out of a task by claiming your inability to do it.
If I remember correctly the word has ‘impotence’ in it.
For example:
«John could you cook us dinner?»
«Me? No, I’m really bad at cooking.. you want Anny to do it»
«John, stop {claiming inability} and get on with it!»
I’m looking for a word that describes what John just did.

«Pleading incompetence» should do it.
incompetence
noun the quality or condition of being incompetent; lack of ability.

«John, stop feigning impotence and get on with it!»
You requested a phrase containing «impotence,» and this one works. (I don’t know if it’s the phrase you heard before, though.)
feign: 1a. To give a false appearance of: feign sleep.
(American Heritage)
impotence — «lack of power, strength, or vigor» Merriam-Webster
Thanks to Antonia for the latter definition.
