Get the The Eve excusemug. A playful and exaggerated way of complimenting someone when they’re exceptionally good at something. This phrase was first used in a comment on ScooterSmash0's "Hp Meme | Roblox Piggy | Animation Meme" video in 2020, and over time, it became popular as a copypasta, especially on TikTok. It’s typically used to express admiration for someone’s skill or talent, often with a lighthearted or humorous tone

Get the uhm! excuse me but you have no right being this good!💖💖🌸mug. logic that leads to doing less work that you know you should be doing for superior moral reasons anyway
Example:
"I dont want to work today because I have neckpain"
Ok, you should probably still do it and fix your neckpain later as best as you can.
What is not a valid excuse? This is where the 'moral' bit comes into play.
Technically the old definition would call this an excuse too:
"I dont want to kill those 15 starving children because I dont like killing".
But a real excuse in my humble opinion is an excuse only when you duck out of doing something that would be the *right* thing to do - something you should be doing for a higher purpose.
