Not an excuse to let them sell it instead of me. WHAT they are selling is HYM. Which, again, makes it more likes slavery than anyone else. Even if I put the phone down today they are still doing the thing they are doing. Seems like we only have a problem with slavery in theory, so long as it isn't happening to us, huh? But in implementation, well..
Hym "That's just an excuse not to pay me. I painted a painting and you looked me dead in the eyes and said 'You're not doing that right' and then TOOK A PHOTO of the of the painting and said 'Hey, you want to buy this photo for a billion dollars?' My work is so good that it's even good second hand."

Largely used in romance, excuses people give rejecting someone by overcomplicating their baggage into something valid on a positive spin. This is usually overcompensating for their romantic insecurities
She gave him a comfort excuse turning him down by telling him she's older and divorced and that he's younger and has his life ahead of him because she fears that her baggage will get in the way of enjoying the romance.
Usually in this case mora than not, the person is really rejecting themselves before they get rejected in the long term

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".
