An excuse is a string of words with an unclear meaning behind them that the panic centre of the brain causes a person to utter to fill an embarrassing or confrontational silence. The truth and logic centres of the brain are totally subservient to the panic centre so excuses are often lame and usually make no logical sense.

used in response to a quesion.

example:What are you doing wearing my mothers pants?
