sorry not sorry

Unapologetic apology phrase

Sorry not sorry is a phrase acknowledging that something might warrant an apology while making clear no apology is coming.

It's used after saying or doing something potentially offensive, controversial, or self-indulgent: I ate the last slice of cake—sorry not sorry.

The phrase signals unapologetic ownership of one's actions or opinions, often with a tone of playful defiance.
