When a person makes it sound like they are apologizing when, in fact, they are just shifting the blame or using twisted logic to argue their way out of responsibility for their actions.

A fauxpology is a non-apology offered when someone doesn't feel one fucking bit sorry.
Since he did not recognize nor care that he had caused offense, he tersely offered the following fauxpology: "I'm sorry if you were offended, but it's not like it's really a big deal eother way."
A fake or insincere apology.
Only delivered so you can move on with your damn life ,and appease the underserving recipient.
