Rhetorical answer

A rhetorical answer is the instance where an answer is given to an unasked question but it is anticipated to be thought of by the majority of those involve in the conversation.
Bob: I have no idea what I should do for my birthday
Fred: Party?
Gilly: Party sounds good!
Tom: MANSION PARTY!!!
Theodore: China Town - and *no, I don't care to elaborate*.

Rhetoriculous

When someone makes an argument that sounds compelling, but is actually just based in wordplay and not logic.

Examples of Rhetoriculous statements:
"If you can take a dick you can take a joke" (excuse for homophobic jokes)
"If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything" (there's no correlation between having passion for something and being immune to trickery. If anything, the opposite.)
John: "You preach Tolerance, yet you're Intolerant of Intolerance!"

Xander: "That's not how political sensitivity / tolerance works, and you know it. You're being rhetoriculous, come back with an actual argument."
