In the second book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, contractors were told not to install a teleporter into a ship that's going to be sent into the sun. They did it anyway and put it in for 5x the price under "Sndry, explns." in the bill.
... the foreman had explained that the accountant could go and boil his
head and the accountant had explained to the foreman that the thing
approaching him rapidly from his left was a knuckle sandwich. After
the explanations had been concluded, work was discontinued on the
teleport which subsequently passed unnoticed on the invoice as “Sund,
explns.” at five times the price.
I get that the first part is "sundry", but what is "explns"?

Expln is a common abbreviation of the word "explain" found in programming and legal language. Presumably explns would be explanations.
Coupled with sundry (sndry), this would be
"sundry explanations"
otherwise known as
"various excuses"
