I owe you an apology. I was not familiar with your game

A fraze once made popular by NBA Legend Shaquille O'Neil reacting to a surprisingly good performance by a current NBA Player that he never thought was able to put on the court, undermining his class up until this very point in time.

This term is now commonly used to describing a situation in which an individual (mostly male) acknowledges the fact that a (female) has been attractive and he just never noticed or was blind to this fact for other reasons, leading him to apologize using the infamous inside joke.
1. Shaq: Christian Wood I wan't to apologize, I wasn't familiar with your game and-
Wood: Aw man, you're a casual!

2. Dude: Gyatt, Sandra that booty phaaat. You been hitting the Gym lately?
Sandra: What? My booty been fat ever since, where have you been?

Dude: Oh okay, I see you now though. I owe you an apology. I was not familiar with your game.

Remember that time your mom called you fat? Or that time your dad said you’re worthless? Its time for them to apologize! Only on December 31st!

Something Logan Paul said once....
...and got a lot of hate for it after a certain incident.
Pewdiepie reviewed this sometime not too long ago and said the steps to an apology “I’ve made a severe and continuous lapse of my judgment and I don’t expect to be forgiven I’m simply here to apologize

Apology

A way of saying "sorry" for a mistake you made to fix the damage you cause to the other person's life. Sometimes it's a way of showing the other person you still care about your relationship and that you are willing to give up your pride in order of saving it.
The only thing I want from her is an apology to know that she regrets it.

Apologize

I wouldn't even know to whom I should be apologizing nor for what I should be apologizing.
Hym "I'm sorry for openly stating that I totally see why people want and/or seek out to kill you and/or your kids (in the context of my experiences with people who are not me). I'm sorry that you are not an authority to which I can be held accountable. I'm sorry that your behavior is not the direct result of my behavior. To believe that YOUR BEHAVIOR... Is the result of my behavior... Is to insinuate that I somehow both control your behavior... And did it wrong in such an egregious fashion... That I now need to cede authority over my own behavior... To you... Indefinitely... And, in contradictory fashion, I also DON'T control your behavior... Because I cannot and should not be able to stop you from behaving as you are now... Nor am I justified in seeking to affect your behavior... Because I'm only allow to control your behavior by doing things you don't like and then allowing you to use your behavior as social punishment... But I'm NOT ALLOWED to control your behavior by telling you what you can or cannot do... And I'm going to apologize one last time... Because... If you believe anything even VAGUELY ANALOGOUS to what I just said... You... ARE IN FACT... AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING RETARD! That is a Schrodinger's box-esque narcissistic delusion where I am both in control of how you behave and not in control of how you behave."
