grooming excuse

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.

charger excuse

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.
