When someone makes an excuse to not attend an event because he current lives in south east asia.
The events are typically in America but any destination far from south east asia works.
This is often made worst when the event doesnt have a location and or dates.
Oh Bob will not be able to attend the bbqs, if you ask him he will probably give the old south east asia excuse.
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."
when you give yourself a reason to postpone a task or job or an inconvenience you don't feel like doing.
yeah damn, I should mow the grass, but it's cloudy out and might rain, yea that's my excuse. excuse postponing lazy
Any use of a feeble, or implausible excuse used by someone to escape from a conversation on a mind-numbing, or uninteresting topic for the listener. Refers to someone explaining their preference to 'wash their hair', 'do their nails' or some other such excuse, which would be an otherwise less desirable chore than having to suffer through listening to such a boring conversation.
These excuses were popular in sit-coms, where the lead actor wanted to extract laughter from the audience with the punchline illustrating the implausibility of the excuse being believed by the recipient.
Claire: When I came back with your wine you'd already left. What happened?
Steve: When that wine-snob came over to talk about the wine we were drinking, I had to use a grooming excuse to get out of there.
In recent years, this has become a popular cover story for ignoring someone's phone calls and/or text messages. Your phone's battery died and the charger was at home, or you could not find the charger.
Shortly after Bill arrived at the lake, his boss texted him and asked if he could work on his day off. He decided to use the charger excuse.
