An example of excuse clouding is easily seen in terms of a fictitious conversation:
Jack: "Want to go to the movies?"
Jill: "I don't have any money." (When in reality she just doesn't want to go see that movie).
Jack: "I'll pay for you."
Jill: Some other argument other than just saying she doesn't want to see that movie.

Get the Excuse Cloud mug.In some competitive online games (such as Quake III), used to be a snarky remark addressed to opponents who would keep coming up with explanations as to why they lost a round, insinuating that the explanation provided was just a made-up excuse picked from an imaginary text file filled with random excuses (i.e. `excuses.txt`).
Ultimately, some players turned this proverbial `excuses.txt`into reality by implementing a script that would automatically pick a random line from such a file on disk, and send it to their opponent as a chat message whenever the player was fragged in the game.

Get the Excusearella 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.
