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.

Rhetorical Cap

Cap used for rhetorical purposes (to further a point), as opposed to simply for the love of the game. Similar to a rhetorical question (a question asked for rhetorical purposes).
His essay lacked evidence so you utilized rhetorical cap to further his point.

And by 'veils in my own rhetoric' I mean 'Weaponizing schizophrenia by talking about the things I do while they aren't around in a way that could be easily misconstrued as delusions of reference' or 'Using their children as a cudgel' which is how you know he is lying to detract from the fact they buried the 'Weaponized schizophrenia' I was talking about and are now trying to shield themselves from liability for child murders that may have occurred.
Hym "Breaking! Biased Lawyer Veils The Justification Of His Corrupt Actions In My Own Rhetoric To Detract From The Fact That YouTube Influencers Are DELIBERATELY Trying To Make It Look Like Someone Has A Mental Illness They Don't Actually Have To Make A Point About Women Or Slurs Or Something! Or maybe they AREN'T trying to make a point! Maybe they are just doing it so they can tell themselves that what they are doing to me isn't that bad and that it isn't their fault that a bunch of children got murdered but, rather, they can scapegoat me for doing nothing more than describe my own situation (in great detail) and draw attention to it in the only way I could thing to do so."
