- A very good alibi might be described e.g. as perfect, watertight, airtight, solid or iron-clad. A bad alibi may be said to be implausible or paper-thin or to not hold/tread water.
- Some argue alibi should not be used colloquially to mean an explanation or excuse to avoid blame or justify action, since this sense is unrelated to the word's original meaning of elsewhere.
