comment
When a character acts as if the words they are trying to say are so repugnant or alien to them, that they are almost physically incapable of saying them at least the first time around. This results in them biting out the words through gritted teeth or slurring and stuttering on the words a few times before finally saying it properly. Possibly followed by a command that they should enjoy hearing that because it's the last time they ever will.
Reasons for this may be a prideful or arrogant character finally breaks down to admit the hero did a good job. Or someone who never apologizes, finally does and the experience doesn't agree with them.
Related to Cannot Spit It Out, Angrish, and Emotionally Tongue-Tied. Often used in conjunction with Dumbass Has a Point and I Can't Believe I'm Saying This. May be a Funny Moment if the situation is really hammed up.

Cheers:
At the end of season 2, Carla's dislike for Diane reaches such levels she has severe difficulty saying "thank you". When she does, she tries to slam her tongue in the bar's door.
After their hideously vicious break-up, and a few months spent in a "health spa", Diane cannot say "Sam". Which makes their reunion in Cheers awkward, as she can only manage "Ss-ssssssssssss..."

Valentine in MirrorMask attempting to apologise to Helena: "If I were to say... s... s... so... something apologetic... it would reflect my feelings in this matter." (Valentine's inability to say, "I'm sorry," is something of a running joke in the film.) He does eventually manage to actually apologise when his life depends on it. The end credits theme about him is called "The Apology Song".

Scrubs:
Happens hilariously when Cynical Mentor Dr.Cox finally tells J.D. that he's a good doctor. He looks like he is going to throw up.
The season 8 finale (originally intended to be the series finale) has Doctor Cox admit that JD is a better doctor than most doctors he's ever met, without stumbling and with lots of conviction. When he finds out that JD was actually listening when he said it, he looks like he's going to be sick.

The fourth season finale of Metalocalypse involves the band about to split up due to a conflict between Nathan and Pickles. Pickles says he'll stay, but only if Nathan apologizes to him, which he believes he's incapable of doing. When Nathan gives a eulogy for the man in charge of their record label, he manages to do it. It ends up being perhaps the most painful looking apology you're ever likely to see. It makes him vomit blood.

In the Sofia the First episode "The Little Witch", Lucinda, the eponymous witch, decides to change her ways, and Sofia suggests she start by apologizing to all of the people she hexed. She practices saying "sorry," but only succeeds in making her hat spark. Fortunately, she gets the word out in front of actual people. She's very impressed with herself when she manages to say it a second time.

In Demon Knight, when the Collector tries to tell Jeryline he loves her, he can't even finish the word. It's not the concept of love he has trouble with, as he very effectively manipulated Cordelia with that, but he comes off as unable to stomach actually saying it even as a lie.

In the Smuggler storyline of Star Wars: The Old Republic, one of the dialogue options is to react this way when a crimelord named Rogun the Butcher demands that they pay and apologize for losing a weapons shipment at the beginning of the game. Given that this is the Smuggler, that said loss was due to circumstances entirely beyond their control, and that Rogun has been trying to kill them for most of the game, this is certainly deliberate.

Bob's Burgers:
In "Purple Rain-union", Linda's old high school band, the Ta-Tas, is asked to perform at her high school class's 25th reunion. Then she learns that she was the last pick after Bad Hair Day, the band that the Ta-Tas were forced to follow after a show-stealing performance in the school talent show, turned them down. Being reminded of this humiliation enrages Linda, and she spends much of the rest of the episode unable to even say the phrase "Bad Hair Day".
At the start of "Eat, Spray, Linda", Birthday Hater Linda struggles to say the word "birthday" after getting up in the morning.

Played for horror in a two-part episode of The Magnus Archives. Edwin Burroughs, a fallen Catholic priest, claims in his statement that he has been possessed by a demon (well, he's half right) that torments him in various ways. The most outwardly obvious sign is that it doesn't let him pray, or say Jesus's name, and he has to struggle quite hard to choke out God just once.

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Fools in April", Squidward has a hard time saying "I'm sorry" to SpongeBob after pulling a prank that goes too far and traumatizes him. So hard, in fact, that at one point his head explodes.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Near the end of the episode "Dungeons & Discords", Discord struggles to spit out an apology to Spike and Big Macintosh for making fun of them and dragging down their "guys' night" of playing Ogres & Oubliettes.
"To Where and Back Again – Part 1": When Starlight asks Trixie to repeat what she'd earlier told her to not repeat to anypony, to make sure she's not a changeling, Trixie's answer first come out as unintelligible mumbling between clenched teeth. Only on Starlight's insistence does she finally admit it was "That even Trixie's made mistakes!"

Kill la Kill: After being enemies for most of the show, Ryuko and Satsuki discover that they are sisters and form an alliance against their mother Ragyo. As they are about to enter battle together, Ryuko tries to call Satsuki "nee-san" (big sister) but can only bring herself to say, "N...n..." Satsuki says that Ryuko doesn't need to force herself to act like they are sisters, because their combined blood is flowing through Junketsu and that's enough.

In Halo 2, the Gravemind makes a loud shuddering noise after saying the word "containment." Considering that he and the rest of the Flood have been under quarantine for eons, it's clearly not a happy noise.

Cabin Pressure:
Subverted in "Wokingham", when Douglas, who has chafed under being first officer to Martin the whole series, is asked to introduce himself to Martin's family and seems to have problems saying so. It then turns out the reason is much pettier; he and Carolyn are still playing their "only one word" game.
Played straight in "St. Petersburg" with Arthur. Arthur historically and instantly calls everything and anything "brilliant", but when asked to describe his absentee father, he stumbles. Repeatedly. Douglas even wonders if the question has actually broken Arthur, as he tries to describe his father with a word that isn't "brilliant". Eventually Arthur just musters up that he's "alright", leading Martin and Douglas to conclude the man must be awful. And he is.
