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!
“Mom, it’s National parents-apologize-for-trauma-they-put-their-kids-through day, you know what that means? You’re a horrible mother that doesn’t care about their child’s feelings!”

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”

To make an apology for something relatively insubstantial, even mostly irrelevant, while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge something more grievous.
Bonus points if the apology is insultingly insincere and the apologist demands privacy and respect.
Named after Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care of the UK, who was filmed having an extramarital romantic liaison - kissing and groping - an aide he personally hired. Hancock refused to acknowledge the romantic and sexual element of this interaction and, instead, chose to apologise for "breaching social distancing guidelines." He then asked for privacy for this "personal matter", alluding to the alleged affair sighted, while completely refusing to acknowledge the affair.
Jane: "You cheated on me over 15 years, murdered my mother, and stole all of my money. Why did you do all of this, you wasteman?"
Matt: "To invoke the Hancock apology, I am sorry that I ate all of your green Gummy Bear sweets. It was very wrong of me and I apologise. I would now like you to respect my privacy on this personal matter."
A song by Nirvana featured in the two albums “in utero” and “unplugged New York”. The song was written by Kurt cobain as an apology to Courtney Love (his wife) And Frances bean cobain (his daughter). Absolute banger.
Person 1: WHAT ELSE SHOULD I WRITE, I DONT HAVE THE RIGHT 🎵
Person 2: Hey what song are you singing?
Person 1: All apologies by nirvana. Absolute banger.
"I take offense at that, not gunna lie"
"I apologive no offense"
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.
