Novel Answer

A response used to answer simple questions that require only half of a sentence to answer or less but extended to a 10+ minute painful mental course by overuse of examples by the person/adult (depending if you are a teen) who already answered your question 8 minutes ago. In a result of them answering you that way, you start to either fall asleep, regret you ever asked them the question, scream in your head, or all of the above. The worse part is when after they talked for 20 minutes they finally say that they don't know the answer, and you feel like you want to repeatedly hit your forehead into the wall.

Teen: "..............(in his/her mind) not the Novel Answer.......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. (then says) that's okay dad, ill just take a look in the book then."
