How are the original meaning of alibi relates to the meaning today?
Alibi comes from the word meaning "elsewhere". An alibi is a defence to an accusation that you were not where the crime took place at the time it took place. It is a good and reasonable defence, and this is its meaning most places in the English-speaking world. But not in the United States. Perhaps starting in the gangster era, where criminals would regularly bribe witnesses to say that they were somewhere else when the crime took place, the word "alibi" came to mean a false or bad excuse of any kind. In the lyric to Frankie Valli's "Big Girls Don't Cry" ("Big girls don't cry (That's just an alibi)"), the word has migrated a long way from its original meaning, being used, apparently, as a synonym for "lie".
