Republican: "My remarks certainly weren't meant to be insulting; she must have misunderstood me <wink, smirk, nod>."

Audience member: "Damned, if that wasn't a real republican apology!"

Fruit Cup Apology 

When someone can't swallow their pride and actually say "I'm sorry", but give out fruit cups instead, that's called a fruit cup apology.

Sometimes they'll give a sample of mascara, or a shirt from their closet that they don't want anymore, but it's always something they don't care about, and it's always given with the expectation that the recipient will forgive whatever fucked up thing the fruit cup apologizer did wrong. The fruit cup is more of a metaphor than anything.

If the "gift" is accompanied by an "I'm sorry", it cannot be a fruit cup apology. The phrase is only to be used when someone is avoiding having to apologize.

It's made even more pathetic when the person feels the need to constantly tell others that they're a good person. Only bad people fruit cup apologize.
Janice used a fruit cup apology with these old pants last week, but today she didn't like how I shut the cabinet door, so she called me ungrateful and wanted the pants back. Just wait, tomorrow she'll fruit cup apologize with a peanut butter cup.

White Apology 

When a white person (usually unprompted) apologizes for the perceived culture of racism that prevails today. Not to be confused with making a heartfelt apology for an instance of racism.
White person- "Hey I saw you eating lunch over here and just felt compelled to tell you I am sorry for the prevailing culture of racism that has historically kept your people down and prevented you from being a self-actualizing human being."

Person of color- "Thank you?"

Later that day
Spouse of person of color- "how was your day?"

Person of color- "it was pretty good. I was late getting to work after lunch because of white apology again."
