beg the question

From the Latin, petitio principii: to assert the truth of an unproven premise in the conclusion of an argument. Sometimes the unproven issue follows in the form of an indirect question.
John: "Legalization should not happen, because no one in their right minds would allow that to be legal!"

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.
