An excuse disguised as a solution
It seems today all we get is deception, lies, lip service and excusions from our elected officials.
The eve excuse is when someone is discussing a topic and says they hate a certain part of it, so to defend themselves they say they hate the entire topic as well.
excuser:i hate men
person:why do you hate them all?
excuser:i just hate all people in general lol(this is the eve excuse)
Johnny kerrigan was a pathetic poor excuse for a husband
To give a reason against something which isn't the actual reason one is against it.
An example of excuse clouding is easily seen in terms of a fictitious conversation:
Jack: "Want to go to the movies?"
Jill: "I don't have any money." (When in reality she just doesn't want to go see that movie).
Jack: "I'll pay for you."
Jill: Some other argument other than just saying she doesn't want to see that movie.
A saying which states that one artist (a writer, painter, author, musician, etc.) should be allowed to only make art for himself and not for random people he doesn't know, but should keep in mind that it should not excuse him from making poor quality art.
As a writer, I only write for myself and not random strangers who read my novels, but that doesn't excuse me from writing good quality books. Every artist should know that good art has no excuses. Ever.
"Like it says on the board, inescapableisiticdictionaritical excuses means they're not very good excuses."
