Apology Reflex

Someone who makes a harsh joke directed at another person, but then is quick to apologize and beg for forgiveness - losing his friends respect for his joke(s) in the process. The ultimate sign of someone with no balls.

Joe: Damn Kevin, I can't tell if that's your mom or a hippo.
Kevin: Wow Joe, you're an ass.
Joe: Shit man I'm sorry, I was just kidding... Let me buy you a new car.

Friends: *shake heads* Look, his apology reflex is acting up again.

remote reflex

The lightning fast,cat-like reflex of grabbing the remote control to mute or change channels when an uber annoying commercial comes on the TV. Can be anything from a Jennifer Hudson Weight Watcher promo,to a hard-to-watch starving child,animal abuse or child with whooping cough spot.

My remote reflex has been timed at 15/100 of a second.

Joe was watching the News and his reflex thoughts were spamming his mind with offensive terms until the camera showed someone with slightly smaller ears.

conversational reflexes

1. how deftly an individual can adapt a story or sentence they are currently telling to steer the mood of the listeners in their favor

2. how quickly an individual can fabricate a believable story while under scrutiny

A real-life instance of good Conversational Reflexes:

I just was going 125mph in my rental car 10min before reaching a security checkpoint.

Officer: "is that a rental? how fast does it go?"

Me: "I wouldn't know, this car is really slow"
