Your right ?

I heard some people say this but I don't quite get it.
when someone say "I am sorry", another one say "Your right"
What does "your right" mean here?
Thanks.

I have never come across it: Your right = it is your privilege to be sorry; You're right = you are correct. Neither makes sense to me. I'm sorry.

Neither makes sense to me. I'm sorry.

I think I may have done this a couple times when I was in a bad and sarcastic mood:

"Sorry" can have two meanings. For instance, "You're a sorry excuse for a human being!"

So if someone says, "I'm sorry," and you reply, "Yes, you are!" it might suggest that his apology is not accepted.

Are you sure you're not mis-hearing "all right"?
