Any use of a feeble, or implausible excuse used by someone to escape from a conversation on a mind-numbing, or uninteresting topic for the listener. Refers to someone explaining their preference to 'wash their hair', 'do their nails' or some other such excuse, which would be an otherwise less desirable chore than having to suffer through listening to such a boring conversation.
These excuses were popular in sit-coms, where the lead actor wanted to extract laughter from the audience with the punchline illustrating the implausibility of the excuse being believed by the recipient.

Claire: When I came back with your wine you'd already left. What happened?
Steve: When that wine-snob came over to talk about the wine we were drinking, I had to use a grooming excuse to get out of there.

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".

A saying which states that one artist (a writer, painter, author, musician, etc.) should be allowed to only make art for himself and not for random people he doesn't know, but should keep in mind that it should not excuse him from making poor quality art.
As a writer, I only write for myself and not random strangers who read my novels, but that doesn't excuse me from writing good quality books. Every artist should know that good art has no excuses. Ever.

Just the stupidest most absurd excuses that anyone could make. It's actually so unbelievable it just makes me question how do you even think of these excuses. It's harder to think of these excuses than to actually pass the HSC.
Person 1: Stop throwing the game
Person 2: Oh, its just that I'm not sitting cross-legged on my specific office chair, and that someone was walking behind me.
Person 1: Mate stop making Kevin Chin Excuses

What teachers say you use, as an unjustifiable reason for something just because they do not want you to leave the classroom even though yo must release a Fat Shit

Guy 2: fuck him honestly.

a term that your mom, boss, dad, and anyone superior to you will call any of your logical reasons for not doing something because they are a stupid bitch and can go eat a dick.
mom: did you pick up the dogs shit?
son: sorry mom, i broke my wrist on a lightpost and then fell into 20 thumbtacks that were covered in salt and hand sanitiser
mom: cut it with the fucking excuses!
