A filler word used when one does not know how to handle a serious and/or dramatic situation. Often mistaken for heartfelt compassion, shared sadness, or a sincere apology, the word “sorry” actually has no feeling of guilt, regret, or concern for the other person. Rather, it is used in an attempt to draw attention away from an uncomfortable scenario in hopes that the other person will accept it and move onto a different topic in the conversation. It is also the most commonly overused word in the world along with the likes of love, honesty, and fairness.

SORRY! is a fast paced 3v3 drinking game. 5 ping pong balls and 12 cups (filled with water). To play, each team stands on opposite sides of a beer pong table and sets up 6 cups in a horizontal line (parallel to the end of the table of which the players are standing). Each cup is numbered in order from 1 to 6. The goal of the game is to make all of the opponents cups in order. So the 1 cup must be hit before the 2 cup. The 2 cup must be hit before the 3 cup and so on and so forth until all 6 cups have been hit. However, if someone miss throws and hits out of order it is considered a SORRY! and ALL the cups are replaced. For instance, a team is shooting for the 5 cup (only 2 cups left) and accidentally hits the 6 cup. The other team will then yell "SORRY!" and replace the 4,3,2, and 1 cup.
Before the game, a punishment must me decided for the losing team. Can range anywhere from shot-gunning a beer to taking s shot of liquor.

Me and my friends were playing an intense game of SORRY!. My team was shooting for the 5 cup but I was out of it and accidentally hit the 6 cup. It was the worst SORRY! of my life.
We eventually lost and they made me shotgun a beer and then dance with my shirt off to the song "Graduation" by Vitamin C.

A condescending and insincere apology offered before telling someone that he/she is wrong, usually instead of explaining why the person disagrees with the other party. Often accompanied by derisive laughter and/or mansplaining .
As a bonus, this makes people angry, allowing the Sorry But guy to claim that he can't listen anymore until they calm down.

Bobby: (chuckle) Sorry, but you're wrong.
Tom: Dude, cut that out. Everyone thinks it's really annoying.
Bobby: Sorry, but I'm going to keep doing it anyway.
