QUASIPOLOGY

Pretending to apologize to someone, but in reality only justifying the actions you should be apologizing for. Example: After the meeting, Dave came up to me and started to say he was sorry for shafting my project and lying to the manager about it. But then he just quasipologized instead and said he's had problems like this before, so he has reason to be paranoid and he has to take preemptive measures because I might've done something wrong later. For about five seconds, I thought he'd actually apologized.
