1. A backhanded apology, where the offending party claims regret- not for their error or discourtesy- but rather for the ill feelings or reaction for those offended. 2. What may at first appear as an apology, but after closer examination, is really a condescending or placating way to avoid personal responsibility.
HISTORY: Pope Benedict XVI deeply offended Muslims when he quoted the Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus during his Regensburg talk. After an international uproar, Pope Benedict XVI attempted to apologize and clarify what he meant- along with the good intentions behind his speech- unfortunately; Pope Benedict XVI's "apology" was a bit backward.

Get the Papal apology mug.An apologist is someone who argues in defense of a controversial truth, usually but not always associated with Christianity.
During slave times in the United States, an apologist would defend that slavery was all right, by citing portions of the bible where God's favorites owned slaves.

Get the apologist mug.When a person of German heritage makes an egregious and obvious mistake and is unwilling or incapable of offering a sincere apology, but rather tries to mask an apology through carefully chosen words.
Ex 1. German Apology to Wife: " I am sorry if you misunderstood or didnt hear me when I told you that I was going to the Jets game on Sunday"
Ex 2. When an Irish wife falls in a hole walking home from a party after asking the German husband to call for a cab to take them home. German Apology: "I'm sorry that you felt it necessary to drink so much and stay at the party so late that you tripped and stumbled into that hole and hurt your ankle"

Get the German Apology mug.A nintendo fanboy who will excuse or ignore all the mistakes that Masahiro Sakurai (Creator of Super Smash Bros) will make in favor of pretending his games are perfect.
Things a Sakurai Apologist would say
1. "Smash Tour is way better then Subspace, and it shits on Melee's adventure mode. Its not complicated, your just retarded. Heck we're lucky we even got any modes at all!"
2. "Dark Pit and Lucina are completely valid characters who Sakurai didn't waste any time creating and adding. Lucas and Wolf were complete clones who were overshadowing the other characters. Nothing wrong with cutting them.
3."(Insert overpowered character) isn't OP! you just need to get gud."
4. "Sakurai can do whatever he wants because its his game. Stop complaining. So what if you're a paying customer! Fuck you for having an opinion about a game that you're paying 60$+ for! Your negative feedback makes you, the paying customer, an ungrateful piece of shit!"
