quick question

The plea occasionally comes from a pain in the ass office worker who is clueless and wants help desperately. He does not have a "quick question." The question is not the issue: he usually requires a quick answer that is not easily given. He gives the appearance of knowing what he is talking about but needs a tutorial on how to load a stapler. This guy (sorry men: this stupid question normally does not come from a woman) is not long for the company if he asks this kind of shit all the time. The worst offenders will use "air quotes" when asking a "quick question."

Hey dude, can I ask you a "quick question" about the sales meeting this afternoon?

stupid question

A question so obvious the asker must be an idiot not to know.

Often however, used in a sarcastic tone/context to make the other party look stupid. Making the asker very clever.

Closely related to the Rhetoric question.

So exactly how in hell did you pass med school again?

Shut up, stop asking stupid question

BURN!

Loaded question

A question in which the responder has only one option to respond as, therefore the questioner already knows the answer.

Nate: "Hey, how are you?"
Lisa: "Good thanks, you?"
Nate: "Yeah, I'm Good."

---

Nate: "Hey, how are you?"
zabi333: "that is such a loaded question, of course all I can say is good."
Nate: "Yeah, I don't even actually care how you are, just filling up the awkward gap."

question man

the police! -could be question 'kind', question 'one/s' or question 'woman'

the local 'officials' invariably have a question (or questions) for one upon being detained/arrested/stopped for ANY reason! usually, the answer is already known!, ones' fate pre-determined. the 'slicker' talkers can sometimes actually manipulate this.

i was leaving foolsley's, and got hit by the question man re: my consumption of 'cohol. i explained that i was just the fucking dishwasher getting off work........

after the question ones peeled judy off the telephone pole, they had a quiz for her!

i took a roundabout way home to 'beat' the question man!
