Late dinner

A phrase used to describe why you are late for anything (like work, breakfast with a friend, etc.), but is actually a cover for consuming far too much/too many things that fucked you up beforehand. Also related to early breakfast or brunch, long lunch, etc.

I'm really sorry to be late, but I had a late dinner with moms last night.
Sorry I'm late for our date, but I had a late lunch that fucked up my whole schedule up.
