This is a line you might hear on any one (of the
many) television shows with a theme about cops, crime or legal proceedings. The word alibi is a pure Latin word that has
been integrated directly into the English language.
It means “elsewhere”, so when the TV show depicts a
scene in Los Angeles and a crime has been committed on Sunset Boulevard; What
the investigator is asking the suspect is “Do you have an alibi?” or “Where you
somewhere else?” when this crime was committed.
