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.

rapist's apology

When someone "apologizes" by saying something along the lines of "I don't remember doing this/it happening like that, but if I did do that I'm sorry."
Basically it's when someone fakes their way out of an apology so they can feel better about themselves.
"Did you confront Amy about what she said about you?"
"Yeah, she tried to get out of it with a rapist's apology but I didn't let her get away with it."
