Pardon my French:

This is what someone will say if they accidentally say a profane word in English and are meaning to apologize. 

I have heard it used both sincerely (someone actually wanting to apologize for swearing) and sarcastically (someone who is really not sorry for swearing but is trying to make a mockery of the fact that someone may have been offended by what they were saying).
