A term coined by UK Grime artist; JME, meaning a phone call that you don't answer. Stems from the term 'rhetorical question' which is a question that doesn't require an answer, such as "Are you silly blad?".

Biased Lawyer Veils The Justification Of His Corrupt Actions In My Own Rhetoric To Detract From The Fact

And by 'veils in my own rhetoric' I mean 'Weaponizing schizophrenia by talking about the things I do while they aren't around in a way that could be easily misconstrued as delusions of reference' or 'Using their children as a cudgel' which is how you know he is lying to detract from the fact they buried the 'Weaponized schizophrenia' I was talking about and are now trying to shield themselves from liability for child murders that may have occurred.

Hym "Breaking! Biased Lawyer Veils The Justification Of His Corrupt Actions In My Own Rhetoric To Detract From The Fact That YouTube Influencers Are DELIBERATELY Trying To Make It Look Like Someone Has A Mental Illness They Don't Actually Have To Make A Point About Women Or Slurs Or Something! Or maybe they AREN'T trying to make a point! Maybe they are just doing it so they can tell themselves that what they are doing to me isn't that bad and that it isn't their fault that a bunch of children got murdered but, rather, they can scapegoat me for doing nothing more than describe my own situation (in great detail) and draw attention to it in the only way I could thing to do so."

Rhetoric

FEEEEEEEAR! AND CHAAAAAOOOOOOS! BLALALALALALALALALALALA!

Hym "Seriously? No. It isn't that. Really. That is all these people do! Regurgitate empty rhetoric. Your Venecian method doesn't work on me shit-head. It ain't going to work. Literally only one thing will work. It'll start with you and the people who remain will change their mind. So..."
