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.

familiarity filter

The "familiarity filter" refers to the phenomenon where children are more inclined to listen to strangers rather than their own parents, often due to filtering out familiar things that have always been there.
It's interesting how the familiarity filter works; my child pays more attention to advice from a teacher than from me, just because it feels new and different.
