An apology that does not require an "it's ok" response. Usually the person who is being apologized to should actually be doing the apologizing. Rhetorical apologies are often stated with large amounts of unmistakable sarcasm.
Incorrect response...
Guy: Oh come on girl! What's wrong with having a little fun?
Girl: Um do I look like the kind of person who's ok with just having "a little fun?" I'm not a slut. Sorry.
Guy: That's ok.
Girl: That was a rhetorical apology you doucher.
Correct response...
Guy: Oh come on girl! What's wrong with having a little fun?
Girl: Um do I look like the kind of person who's ok with just having "a little fun?" I'm not a slut. Sorry.
Guy: Oh no no! I'm sorry! I was completely out of line.

Get the rhetorical apologymug. 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!

Get the Rhetorical Complimentmug. As opposed to a question not needing an answer, a rhetorical answer is an answer that should not questioned.
Joe: What's going on?
Abbie: My mum has gone into a coma, my dad has run off with his dentist and just failed all my exams.
Joe: ......that's a rhetorical answer isn't it?

Get the rhetorical answermug. A question asked in which one already knows the answer to not expecting reply; simply to be a dick, to annoy you, or for some other odd reason.
"Why'd you get me pregnant Jonny?"
"I thought you loved children?!"
"I do! I just wanted to make sure you remembered.(:"
"You're a crazy hoe, I'm out! Call me when you need child support. Better yet, I'll give you a booty call within the week."
Now you see, the moral of the story is never to ask rhetorical questions.

Get the Rhetorical Questionmug. 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 rhetorical assholemug. Like a rhetorical question, a rhetorical statement is one that doesn't need to be commented on. When a person says something that isn't meant to start a conversation.
Bob: My girlfriend just dumped me for a man-whore
Jack: Ha sucker! I told you this would happen!
Bob: You douche it was a fucking rhetorical statement!
