doorknob question

Those are the dreaded words that doctors hear as they place their hands on the doorknob to leave the treatment room at what they think is the end of the patient encounter. The patient then tells the real reason that they scheduled their visit. This phenomenon frequently is the culprit that disrupts the doctor's schedule for the rest of the day.

olive question

The question for compatibility. Asking if someone likes olives is seeing whether or not you are compatible with them. If the answers are opposite, then they are compatible.

The olive question works if:

Girl: I hate olives. Do you like olives?
Guy: Yes

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!"
If John were to say this, his argument would beg the question, namely whether legalization is justified.

trick question

An inquiry having no correct answer, or one asked for the sole purpose of starting controversy or eliciting certain responses. Basically, a no-win situation.

Girlfriend asks: do I look fat in this? (trick question)

If you tell her she does, she'll throw a fit and tell you how insensitive you are. If you tell her she doesn't she'll call you a liar and go off on a tangent about how "all men are the same" or some nonsense like that
