A term coined by UK Grime artist; JME, meaning a phone call that you don't answer. Stems from the term 'rhetorical question' which is a question that doesn't require an answer, such as "Are you silly blad?".

The nuts and bolts of speech and writing; the parts that make a communication work. Separately, each part of is meaningless, but once put together they create a powerful effect on the listener/reader.
Rhetorical devices can function at all levels: words, sentences, paragraphs, and to infinity and beyond.

Rhetoric raid is when a disgruntled, former partner sends repetitive texts. The purpose of the rhetoric- raid is to prevent the recipient from moving on, being present with what she/he is doing in the moment, make his/her presence known to the new love interest and otherwise throw the receiver off balance. A rhetoric- raid is a nonsensical series of texts sent by a former lover.
Danni switched her phone to silent after noticing but not reading the rhetoric-raid, coming in from her X boyfriend.
