Rhetorical Statement

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, but is usually just sarcastic.

Example of a Rhetorical Statement:

Simon: Yeah,define it for me.
Irene: You're kind of a sarcastic little shit, aren't you?

Rhetorical Backwash

A verbal condition found in humans, usually undesirable, that continues long after an event has occurred. At times it takes on the form of arrogance, bombast or an excuse. Clogging the instrument of delivery may be most useful.
