Apolonia is a great sister but sometimes she can be a bitch. She is the type of girl who doesn't like being involved in a drama. If I were you I wouldn't get in her bad side, she is quite a rebel. Apolonia is also a great basketball player if she has great a teammate to work with. Not many guys are attracted to her because of her attitude. Apolonia is a beautiful woman and caring.

Get the republican apology mug.Wow, have you seen the apoocalypse in the third floor toilets? Is it the HR department holding another dirty protest?' 'No, it's that new contractor from Wilmslow. The cleaners have put up a new sign in the toilet saying "Please leave these facilities in the condition that you would wish to find them", and he took it literally.'

Get the apoocalypse mug.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.
