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.

Another limp dick passive aggressive move done by some who are trying way too hard to seem cool, smart, sarcastic and/or funny. Key term, trying way too hard..... Usually the attempt is an utter and complete failure and perceived for what it truly is, yet another desperate stab at attention.
I saw some dope put up one of those sorry not sorry posts about some hot button issue on Facebook. I guess the "desperately needs some kind of attention" app wasn't working at the time.
