A play on the phrase rhetorical question, a retardical question is a question so stupid, it leaves the people being asked speechless, and unable to answer with even a sarcastic response. A retardical question has such stupefying
power,it can leave an entire room in a confused daze, and, in written form, can
kill as many brain cells as aerosol or a
Miley Cyrus song.
Dude 1: What did you put in answer for number 9?
Dude 2: You mean "name something
flat? I put pancakes, tortillas,
Earth....
Dude 1: Wait what?!
Earth?
Dude 2: Yeah it's flat right? That's what people say.
Dude 1 is so stunned by this retardical question he is unable to speak, or move, and has to be taken to the school nurse.
