Rhetorical Statement 

Any statement that is intended to not have any feedback, output, or response to it. They aren't usually meant to be funny, but when they are, they're normally just considered sarcasm, and are left trailing off.

1)
A) Damn it's hot outside.
B) I know.
A) Thanks for responding, that was a rhetorical statement.

2)
A) Wow, that chick has huge...
B) Boobs?
A) Killed it, B.

rhetoricality 

Using a rhetorical question to answer another rhetorical question which both have the same answer.

"Q: Is pizza a food?"
"A: Is the Pope Catholic?"

The answer is made up for rhetoricality.

rhetorical hashtag 

Much like a rhetorical question, a rhetorical hashtag is a hashtag used in a tweet to produce an effect or make a statement, rather than for the generally intended purpose of hashtag, which is to connect the tweet with other tweets using the same tag and make it searchable. Rhetorical hashtags are often used to inject humor and sarcasm, or even to clarify what the tweet pertains to. Occasionally they are used to make passive aggressive jabs at others. They are sometimes long and made up of many words strung together.
Some examples of tweets using rhetorical hashtags: "I'm awake. #crap" "So @thinkgeek is hiring product testers? They should totally hire me to take care of that for them. #onlyhalfkidding" "Sure, I'll let my little brother borrow my new car. #overmydeadbody #worstdriverever"

Sharon really goes overboard with the rhetorical hashtags. She can hardly tweet without adding something like #holyhellwhyisthishappeningtomeagain. I wish she'd shut up and quit whining.

Rhetorical Compliment 

A compliment to another person which may be sarcastic, or not, but which compliments the other. The speaker may expect a response, but the receiver usually won't comment. Similar to a rhetorical question.

(In this scenario, a kid has 68 algebra problems to do)

Dad: How many problems have you done now, son?
Kid: 23.
Dad: You're making progress!
