How it's used
This phrase is a colloquial way to criticize someone for being defensive or evasive. It implies that the person is trying to justify their actions with excessive or unnecessary explanations rather than taking responsibility. It carries a slightly impatient or annoyed tone, often used when the speaker has lost patience with the other person's behavior.
Examples
Just admit it if you did something wrong, stop making so many excuses.
He is always late and makes so many excuses, it is really annoying.
Common phrases
always making excuses
Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with the standard phrase 多多藉口. While both mean the same thing,多多事實 is a more idiomatic, slightly more aggressive way to call someone out for their constant justifications.
