Get the Period Apology mug.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.

Get the text apologizer mug.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.

Get the Apology mug.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.
