Get the shelley hancockmug. To make an apology for something relatively insubstantial, even mostly irrelevant, while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge something more grievous.
Bonus points if the apology is insultingly insincere and the apologist demands privacy and respect.
Named after Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care of the UK, who was filmed having an extramarital romantic liaison - kissing and groping - an aide he personally hired. Hancock refused to acknowledge the romantic and sexual element of this interaction and, instead, chose to apologise for "breaching social distancing guidelines." He then asked for privacy for this "personal matter", alluding to the alleged affair sighted, while completely refusing to acknowledge the affair.

Jane: "You cheated on me over 15 years, murdered my mother, and stole all of my money. Why did you do all of this, you wasteman?"
Matt: "To invoke the Hancock apology, I am sorry that I ate all of your green Gummy Bear sweets. It was very wrong of me and I apologise. I would now like you to respect my privacy on this personal matter."

I saw a elf and a dwarf in the new Lord Of The Rings show, Rings Of Power, that weren't white as explicitly prescribed by Tolkien, as someone who's read all of the books I thought it was dumb and out of place . I knew right then the shows creators were Hancocking

Get the Hancockedmug. Refers to where you sign your name to a document with disappearing ink, either because you don't want to actually be held to whatever contract/agreement that you've scribbled your signature on, or you fear that the person who's asking you to sign said document is merely trying to take advantage of you or trap you into something unreasonable/illegal, and so you're just trying to protect yourself from getting dragged into something you shouldn't be involved with.
I always insist that a contract-singer use a pen that I supply him with, so that I don't hafta worry about any Houdini Hancocks.
