WQM-Walking Question Mark 

A walking question mark usually refers to the people in life that don’t make sense. The things they do, the things they say, and the things they may implement in speech, just don’t add up. Just like a question mark meaning confusion, similarly, a WQM brings confusion into your life.

The transmission of the Walking Question Mark (WQM) condition primarily occurs through close friendship with another individual who has WQM. The most effective treatment to achieve a complete recovery is to establish a significant physical and emotional distance from the person with WQM.Individuals affected by the Walking Question Mark condition may exhibit dual personalities within a span of less than an hour.
I find it difficult to maintain a friendship with Alivia because she's a WQM-Walking Question Mark - one moment she's outgoing and fun to be around, and the next moment she becomes moody and distant.

Excellent question! 

It's a praise that you receive from a teacher after you ask a question which he doesn't know how to answer, but he's too embarrassed to admit it.
Student: Teacher, how do you say 'lock, stock and barrel' in Spanish?
Teacher: Excellent question! It's a very interesting expression! For your homework, you'll have to look it up.
A program created by a physics professor and used at The University of Texas at Austin, it is used to bone students' homework GPA. The program was intended to combat cheating and shortcuts, but proves otherwise. If you choose the incorrect answer, it DEDUCTS points from your homework grade, and can eventually make your score NEGATIVE if you keep getting the questions wrong. The program almost always fails in the evening or when needed, as professors use it because they are too lazy to get the TA's to grade the homework.
"Did you do your homework on Quest last night?"
"Yeah man, but I got fucked because I got too many questions wrong. I now have a 20 for a homework grade."

"Ugh! Quest is always down!"
"Welcome to UT, where the professors like to fuck you in the ass."

Rhetorical question

Question asked that is asked for effect and not usually designed for an answer.

Usually encourages the person or people being asked the question to reflect upon their own thoughts and beliefs rather than answer specifically out loud.
Examples of rhetorical questions-
Speaker: "What defense to the homeless have if the government will not protect them?"

Guy: "Did you get some from her last night?"
Other Guy: "Is the sky blue?"

Office Worker: "How stupid is this new filing system we have?"
