Get the The Eve excuse mug.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.

Get the charger excuse mug.And you know what he does, right?
Hym "Here's his entire gambit: He asserts that there's some epistemological disparity between him and his opposition (No! It wasn't in 1948! It was in 1937! Meh!)
Hym "Here's his entire gambit: He asserts that there's some epistemological disparity between him and his opposition (No! It wasn't in 1948! It was in 1937! Meh!)
THEN he loads up 'What, do you believe reductio ad absurdum!? You can't possibly believe reductio ad absurdum!' (As known as 'What, do you believe in educational rape!? He believes in educational rape!' Which you can see between that last Muslim apologist and Matt Dillahunty) and then he shits out his little blob of ink-poop (It's not the reductio ad absurdum I just used to misrepresent you argument! The REAL TRUTH is somewhere in the nebulous cloud of ink-poop I just shit out!). And then he uses Ben Shapiro's rhetorical manipulation tactics of talking fast with his nasally voice. What a fucking dork! And the funnies part is: If I'm right about the wife thing... He's literally a serial rapist! And you know what destiny's excuse is going to be as to why you need to let him get away with it? 'But what about my kid guys!? You have to let me be a serial rapist because parental dictatorship guys! Meh! I need to sexually defraud all the pornstars cus Jordan Peterson was made to look like an absolute fool by the guy I'm pretending to be! I want to be special like Hym guys! Please let me be special guys!' And then you sit and agrue with this idiot about conceptually adjacent arguments I've make and it gets nowhere because it's INTENDED not to go anywhere! That's his whole purpose. Obfuscate the nature of the debate and prevent the discourse from moving in any direction!"

Get the Destiny's excuse mug.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".
