When someone wants to express that they do not appreciate what somebody else did.
Karen: *whispers* She's such a slut.
Tiffany: *whispers back* I know, right? I don't know why anyone would date her.
Misty: Um, excuse me?
Refers to your wearing a personal music-device that uses a headset of some sort, and then "blaming it on that" whenever someone complains that you appear to be ignoring him, when of course in reality you actually heard what he said just fine because **the headphones weren't even playing at the time**, but you were merely practicing "selective deafness" because you didn't happen to like what he had to say, and so you did not wish to respond to and/or be affected by whatever he was telling you.
The headphones excuse can also be "used in reverse" in instances where you are being compelled to be present during a speech, lecture, tirade, etc., and you cannot bear to listen to said boring/controversial/voluminous b**ls**t for even a few seconds... what you do, therefore, is clip on your headphone-based music-device that's hidden inside an outer plastic cabinet that you have boldly labelled, "personal amplified listening device", so that the speaker and anyone else present will think that you are just wanting to ensure that you'll be clearly hearing every single word that the self-important gabber is saying, when in reality you are using the headphones to DROWN HIM OUT so that you won't either need a straitjacket or commit mass-homicide halfway through said extended monologue. It's a vital accessory if you're being "drugged as a child" because your parents "drug you to church".
An excuse that is somewhat valid, but not relevant to the scenario.
That's just a couch excuse!
Excuses a pilot makes to get his/her way.
"We have the fuel truck hooked up at the end of the runway with the passengers on board. I know you guys are busy, but can we get a fuel load and add a dog?"
"I'm getting really sick of your pilot excuses."
The act of using confusion as an excuse to not perform work.
Often used on backshift in Naval shipyards
"Hey, did Bob get that job done last night?"
"No, he was confused by step 1.0 in the procedure so he didn't get started."
"Bob always using the excusion technique to sit on his ass all night" *shaking head
An excuse disguised as a solution
It seems today all we get is deception, lies, lip service and excusions from our elected officials.
It is used to call someone attention or a way of apology. It is also used to get someone out of the way.
