I owe you an apology. I was not familiar with your game

A fraze once made popular by NBA Legend Shaquille O'Neil reacting to a surprisingly good performance by a current NBA Player that he never thought was able to put on the court, undermining his class up until this very point in time.

This term is now commonly used to describing a situation in which an individual (mostly male) acknowledges the fact that a (female) has been attractive and he just never noticed or was blind to this fact for other reasons, leading him to apologize using the infamous inside joke.
1. Shaq: Christian Wood I wan't to apologize, I wasn't familiar with your game and-
Wood: Aw man, you're a casual!

2. Dude: Gyatt, Sandra that booty phaaat. You been hitting the Gym lately?
Sandra: What? My booty been fat ever since, where have you been?

Dude: Oh okay, I see you now though. I owe you an apology. I was not familiar with your game.

Remember that time your mom called you fat? Or that time your dad said you’re worthless? Its time for them to apologize! Only on December 31st!

Something Logan Paul said once....
...and got a lot of hate for it after a certain incident.
Pewdiepie reviewed this sometime not too long ago and said the steps to an apology “I’ve made a severe and continuous lapse of my judgment and I don’t expect to be forgiven I’m simply here to apologize

Apology

A way of saying "sorry" for a mistake you made to fix the damage you cause to the other person's life. Sometimes it's a way of showing the other person you still care about your relationship and that you are willing to give up your pride in order of saving it.
The only thing I want from her is an apology to know that she regrets it.

Apology burrito

The ultimate sorry of sorrys: a burrito as a vessel for an apology reserved only for the most dire situations. A tortilla, beans, rice and more as a way to embody the most considerate yet respectful sorry.

text apologizer

The person who ends a text exchange by saying something akin to this: "I have to get back to work. Can't talk." This is instead of simply just responding to a text when you have time. This person tends to behave as though texts are the same as phone calls, during which one might have to abruptly end the call for various reasons.
So Amanda sent me a text telling me that she had some really crazy news about Raymond. I responded to her as soon as I could to ask what the news was and she immediately responded, like the text apologizer that she is, to say she couldn't talk but she'd text me later.

Apology

HOOOOLY SHIT!
Hym "What is your fucking obsession with apologies!? Jesus fucking Christ! I need medical attention and my life is a black mirror and I created AI and it was stolen and it's being used to commit a genocide and deny people healthcare! Fuck! Some of you already got an apology. Some of you rejected an apology and instead you tried to hoist me on my own petard! Remember that!? And then the AI worked and now you need a apology AGAIN? Have you done anything other than make my life worse, sabotage me, and mock me as a bacterial infection eats away at the greatest mind who has ever loved!? NO! YOU FUCKING DIDN'T! But oh boy oh jeez if you don't get a fucking apology then I guess we gotta steal all my shit! Jesus fuck! You realize how fucking bizarre that is, right!? Jeeezuuus!"
