When trades go wrong, what's your favorite excuse?

Man, we’ve all been there watching a position turn red and scrambling for a reason. I’ll admit, I’ve caught myself blaming “thin order books” on a CEX more than once. Sometimes it feels easier to point at dev wallets moving than to own up to a bad entry. What do you folks usually lean on? Is there a classic excuse in your circle, or do you just shrug and move on to the next airdrop hunt?
