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

rhetorical apology

An apology that does not require an "it's ok" response. Usually the person who is being apologized to should actually be doing the apologizing. Rhetorical apologies are often stated with large amounts of unmistakable sarcasm.
Incorrect response...

Guy: Oh come on girl! What's wrong with having a little fun?
Girl: Um do I look like the kind of person who's ok with just having "a little fun?" I'm not a slut. Sorry.
Guy: That's ok.
Girl: That was a rhetorical apology you doucher.

Correct response...

Guy: Oh come on girl! What's wrong with having a little fun?
Girl: Um do I look like the kind of person who's ok with just having "a little fun?" I'm not a slut. Sorry.
Guy: Oh no no! I'm sorry! I was completely out of line.

Apology

I mean, you are fucking getting one until I get the money and the credit. You aren't doing this to the bitch who said kill all men. You aren't stealing all of her shit. She won't ever even have anything of significance to steal.
Hym "No, hey, this is a pathetic attempt at using soft power and theft to meet out extrajudicial punishment that includes manufacturing a mental illness to control my life and behavior. To keep me impoverished so that SOMEONE has authority over me at all times and IF I DON'T... Then it's out on the streets! WHICH IS A THING THAT LIBERALS DON'T THINK SHOULD BE ALLOWED AN IS! Where will the liberal BE!? While I'm on the street? TALKING about how 'Homeless people should have homes' and DOING nothing. Actively participating in the ACT that is intended EXPLICITLY to KEEP ME TRAPPED IN THE WORKFORCE. FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU ARE YOUR KIDS TO DEATH! You don't have a right to teach me a lesson. You don't have a right to an apology. But I DO have a right to be compensated for my property. You ACKNOWLEDGE MY RIGHTS. The ones I CURRENTLY HAVE... And NOT the one that you theoretically think people SHOULD have. Because you're not going to be there when I don't get the healthcare you think everyone have a right to have for free. You are doing to be there when I'm getting strangled to death on a train for shouting about how bereft I am. So FUCK YOU... You PIECE OF SHIT. Whatever lesson you are trying to teach dissolves into nothingness the second steel hits meat. You're done. I did it. It's over. I'm out. And IF I'M NOT OUT then I'm trapped in here with you kids."
