    A way of admitting a mistake, and apologizing for that mistake, without actually apologizing. The best definition I ever read of this, now paraphrased:
    I did something bad, and I recognize that I did something bad, but there is nothing that can be done for it now, and there is technically no reason to apologize for that error, so lets just assume that I wont do it again, get over it, and move on with our lives.
    Ruder than apologizing, but with the same meaning: a flippant apology.

      (n.) A combination of an apology and a dismissal. Basically, saying oh yeah, I did that, but I dont care.
      Persons of an older generation can find this quite annoying to hear when expecting an actual apology.

        A grammatically incorrect way of acknowledging (facetiously) a wrongdoing.
        Used very commonly by gangsta-wannabes and other sorts of conforming posers, the terrible grammar tends to drive literate people up the wall in absolute irritation.

          A term currently used when a mistake is made on your part. Allegedly originating from an unamed African Basketball Player in the 1980s (who spoke very poor english)who said it after missing a free throw. Several Sportscasters heard the phrase and used it as a joke until it became a part of popular culture.

            A hipster way of admitting a mistake that sounds like a two year old who pooped his pants.
