rhetorical answer
An answer spoken to produce an effect and not necessarily to answer the actual question. A rhetorical answer may possibly be given in response to a rhetorical question, as a sort of counter-attack in a rhetorical battle.
Do you know how many people will be in our philosophy class this year?
42.
C'mon seriously, do you know what the main topic of our class will be?
42.
Geez, how many times do you have to piss me off with rhetorical answers in one day?
42.
Do you think I should wear the green dress or the red dress?
To be or not to be.

preponderant
Predominant, but specifically in terms of pondering instead of dominating. Something which has a monopoly or superior influence on your thoughts or senses, even though other things of the same type might exist.
The humans trapped in the Matrix were mostly unaware that the preponderant universe they experienced was digital.
To most people these days, Tiger Woods is the preponderant golfer.
The preponderant city shrouded its population in a blanket of smog, allowing them to forget that other cities even existed.

handy
Manus
Manus is the name of a pedophile, and has subsequently been used as an insult in New Zealand, including on a TV commercial discouraging drunk driving. Hence, calling someone a Manus is like calling them a pedophile.
hassle
Nick always came up with a hassle using some clever pun that made everyone laugh, and Mark responded with some crappy hassle that usually began with the words "your momma".
Adam made so many hassles about Paul that he was awarded a Guiness World Record.
Pete told his sister a hassle, making her cry.

zap
To hold your hand out flat with all the fingers together and extend your arm to poke a ticklish person in the side of their stomach.
Called zap because the more ticklish they are, the more it makes them jump like they were zapped with electricity.
