What is Youthscuse?
1.
When an individual realizes that the story they're telling makes them look incredibly stupid, and attempts to counteract this effect by quickly explaining that the activity being described occured during childhood, or at least a decade prior.

Bill: You just gave a YouthScuse. I saw you collecting autumn leaves three weeks ago.
