Thesaurus Addition

Another phrase for the "you're a nice guy but..." Thesaurus:

Logistics: Having to do with the allotment of scarce resources, eg, time. As in:
"...logistically, I don't know if I can." Girl's response to an invitation to go ice skating, during an admittedly busy time of the year. Synonym: "I'm just really busy." Antonym: "I'd love to."

Yes. Very interesting word choice. I know people I could expect to use this word. She would not be on that list. If I have to guess, it's "how do I say 'I'm busy' without using those precise words." But, that's just the only reason I would use it.
