A question asked of someone either in identical or varied form by that same person or persons.
It typically cannot be answered since it would have previously been answered.
Therefore, the expectation of that person or persons being questioned is that they need not be expected to respond to it (wastes time and useful energy).
The questioning tends to be done somewhat annoyingly to add emphasis to an initial query. However, the net result is more like an annoying interrogation.

"Did you look in area X as you said you would?"
"Yes I did. I searched thoroughly but without success."
"Are you sure?" He asks incredulously.
"I believe I've answered your question already. That was a rhetorical question.!"
I ask myself, "If my ability to find something so simple and familiar is so sadly doubtful why the f... don't you look for it yourself?"
Pissed off with this moron, I cut discussion and exit the room.

Get the Rhetoricalized mug.Joe asked something so massively rhetardical that I pretended I didn't hear him, left the room, and hid all of the sharp objects in my apartment to restrain myself from hurting him the next time he asked a question.
When my teacher told me that there were no stupid questions, all the kids in my class purposely started asking the most rhetardical questions that she stood there speechless and almost changed her mind.
