Cut of his Jib.

As in the triangle shaped front sail on a boat. Mostly used to moderate airflow on the deck, without it, or an improperly cut jib, it makes for a violent place. Then again, modern boating has given us secondary Jibs for self tacking.

I may be in the process of trading my wifes jetski for a sailboat... I raced them in the Abaco a couple times for a friend of my little brothers father. But we are looking for a 12-14 footer, not a 90 footer.

And so he says, "I don't like the cut of your jib!" and I go, I says "It's the only jib I got, baby!"

Not all the time. When I apologize to my boss for some stupid reason, sure. But if I actually make a mistake...no script.

But a lot of people, including me, can smell bs a mile away.
I'm with Zero here, I don't think any apology can go without sounding scripted.

It does help to shut off major distractions like cellphones, TV and such. Any interruption takes time and effort to recover from, and it does deplete willpower, which is a finite resource according to research heh.
