A question specifically asked in order for the recipient to ask YOU the question in return. People who send out a boomerang question (person A) rarely care for the answer of the other person (person B) and only wish to share their story.
If the boomerang question fails and person A is not asked the question back then they can become extremely irritated.

Phrase that is now used instead of "raises the question" due to the fact that the true definition is unintelligible to most people, and has little to do with an actual question.
Best not to use it at all, as you will either sound ignorant to geeks, or geeky to regular people.

Common (wrong) usage:
That really begs the question, why did she do it?
Geek (right) usage:
I'm cooler than you, because you aren't as cool as me.

A question that has a hidden purpose behind it's asking. The questioner will usually ask the question to find something out without blatantly asking.
"Hey John, was Chrissy at Matt's house yesterday?"
"Yeah, they're going out... That was a loaded question, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, and thanks."
"Yeah, they're going out... That was a loaded question, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, and thanks."
