perlaboration
Definition
(Noun) A cover story to explain an action or behavior. "beating around the bush"Usage: once we exhaust all main narrative possibilities, once we are confronted with the closed matrix of all possible permutations of the basic matrix underlying the explicit scenario we started with, we are bound to generate also the underlying "fundamental fantasy" in its undistorted, "non-sublimated," embarrassingly outright form, i.e. not yet displaced, obfuscated by "secondary perlaborations": Slavo Zizek in The Cyberspace Real
