Auxiliary Question

An Auxiliary Question is a question that is going to force the other person to answer a different question, a question you haven't asked. A sneaky question.

Using an Auxiliary Question instead of asking a girl "Do you have a boyfriend?" you ask "Does your boyfriend likes football?" that would force her to say whether she has a boyfriend or not.

lonely question

The "lonely question" is of the same meaning as "moral question".
It's a Chinese-English pun since "moral(伦理)" in some Chinese dislects has the same pronunciation of "lonely".
This phrase originated from a Chinese streamer, the greatest Kroraina philosopher "Wanyan Huide", and soon went viral on Chinese video platforms after showing up in her stream.

"This is a lonely question."
"If your boyfriend falls in love with your dad, that will be a lonely question."

loaded question

A loaded question is a question with a false or questionable presupposition, and it is "loaded" with that presumption.

The question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" is a loaded question that presupposes that you have beaten your wife prior to its asking, as well as that you have a wife. If you are unmarried, or have never beaten your wife, then the question is loaded.

Question of enlightenment

A question asked by someone where said question causes a lot of thinking to occur, almost on a spiritual level. You'll know you're being hit with a question of enlightenment when it brings forth an extreme sensation of awe. These questions have been witnessed before in popular media, but the term has been left undefined until now. These questions help increase humanity's understanding of its' environment as well as itself.

Trevor in GTA5 once asked a vegan woman, "You don't eat meat by you'll eat c**k?". This is a very good example of a question of enlightenment. Another example not from media would be "how can a lesbian be a lesbian if they like strap on dildos?".
