An apology that does not require an "it's ok" response. Usually the person who is being apologized to should actually be doing the apologizing. Rhetorical apologies are often stated with large amounts of unmistakable sarcasm.
Incorrect response...
Guy: Oh come on girl! What's wrong with having a little fun?
Girl: Um do I look like the kind of person who's ok with just having "a little fun?" I'm not a slut. Sorry.
Guy: That's ok.
Girl: That was a rhetorical apology you doucher.

The means by which you articulate your argument. Rhetoric can be applied to anything that you wanna argue about.
Unfortunately, this means that rhetoric can be applied to an argument that: A) you do not agree with, B) is fighting for the wrong cause, or C) is just plain wrong. If such is the case, then you might in fact loathe the argument even more. I know I would.

Rhetoric is to a factual argument as icing is to cake.
Applying rhetoric to a weak or misguided argument is like polishing a turd and then plating it with gold.

The stage in a relationship between two (or more) bros that surpasses the 'no homo' boundary; the highest mutually shared honor between bros. Achieving this level of camaraderie can be very difficult, as all included parties should come to an agreement on their post-no homo status and mutually adopt the quantum-rhetorical homo status.
John: If I were gay I'd suck Steve's dick.
Steve: I appreciate it bro.
Bystander: Sounds like you've hit quantum-rhetorical homo.
Steve: I appreciate it bro.
Bystander: Sounds like you've hit quantum-rhetorical homo.
