no harm no foul

I think this phrase actually began in basketball. If there isn't any harm inflicted to stop a game, then there should be no foul called.

It's used commonly today to brush off insults or mistakes and the like.

Gerchewd: Hey sorry - my butt just accidentally grazed your arm.
Doughlas:Hey man, no harm no foul.

Gerchewd: Yyyyyeah.
