The stage in a relationship between two (or more) bros that surpasses the 'no homo' boundary; the highest mutually shared honor between bros. Achieving this level of camaraderie can be very difficult, as all included parties should come to an agreement on their post-no homo status and mutually adopt the quantum-rhetorical homo status.
John: If I were gay I'd suck Steve's dick.
Steve: I appreciate it bro.
Bystander: Sounds like you've hit quantum-rhetorical homo.
Steve: I appreciate it bro.
Bystander: Sounds like you've hit quantum-rhetorical homo.
