Quatwaffle

(noun): The swift and socially conscious action required to redeem yourself after making an awkward or tone-deaf joke, often by saying or doing something so woke and insightful that your friends instantly forgive you.

Example: "After joking, 'Guess women can’t parallel park,' he knew it was a quatwaffle, so he pivoted into a mini-rant about how systemic sexism impacts gender stereotypes in driving statistics."
