johns 

In competitive gaming or sports, "johns" is a widely accepted term for excuses the loser will often use as to why they lost. Typically these range from reasonable to the absurd.

May be related to psychological defense mechanisms in response to losing in competitive situations.

Winner: "Good match. That was a close one."

Loser: "I didn't have breakfast this morning, that's probably why I lost. And my controller sucked. Oh, and I would have mercked you if it wasn't for my hands getting sweaty towards the end."

Observer: "Quit making Johns, dude."
