Axcuse

Axcuse: noun. An attempt to lessen the blame attaching to chopping someone up with an axe. Examples of axcuses in the past have included: "Well I had an axe and I had to do something with it, didn't I?" and "I'd just sharpened it and wanted him to see how sharp it was!" There is a case in the legal annals of Denmark, where a man was acquitted of all his crimes because, "his axcuse was freaking amazeballs!" (translated from the Danish).
