Hannah: *picks up phone* Hello?
Peter: Hannah, I'm sorry I'm such a loser! Please can we get back together! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me I'm so sorry!
Hannah: I wouldn't have broken up with you if you weren't such an apologetic mushroom!
Peter: I'm sorry!
A person who is terrible at standing their ground when acting like a bitch. They lack the ability to own their attitude if it's too mean, unkind, or bitchy. It's regretful for them.

"This is why, if apologists like William Lane Craig can get an opponent as far as admitting that Joseph of Arimathea probably did have Jesus interred in his own tomb, and if the women did probably visit the tomb, and that the tomb was probably found to be empty, he can press on to the conclusion that Bingo! Jesus must have risen from the dead! What they somehow do not see is that to argue thus is like arguing that the Emerald City of Oz must actually exist since, otherwise, where would the Yellow BrickRoad lead?" -The Case Against The Case For Christ (p.209)
"The disciples clearly didn't hallucinate Jesus after the crucifixion since he allowed Thomas to poke his wounds and he shared bread with them. Simultaneous hallucinations involving multiple sensory modalities just don't happen."

The attempt to rationalize every single thingthe Bible says, no matter how genocidal, homicidal, sexist, racist, or totally fucking ridiculous those things might be.
