Sorry, But

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.

Jane: I think Obama's doing a pretty good job, all things considered.
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.

I'll say sorry, but I'm not taking off my glasses ...

The mature way for a teenager to apologize on Australian Television for throwing a party that resulted in damage to law enforcement vehicles. Is the perfect comeback for when a bitchy anchorwoman tells you to take off your glasses and apologize.

Anchorwoman: Why don't you take off your glasses and apologize like an adult?
Teenager: I'll say sorry, but I'm not taking off my glasses ...

Loser: "I'm sorry but, I want you to be my slave."
Winner: "F you, I am an American!"
