The practice of answering every question you are asked with a repetitive question or statement, whether it makes sense to or not.

It is practiced widely in the stoner world and has it's roots with Tommy Chong from the Cheech and Chong movies and from his time on That 70's Show.

This is based on the basic belief that Socrates is the father of modern thought and that his philosophic teachings were based upon answering a student's question with a probing question in order to get the student to realize their own answer.

Only in this case it serves as a comedic outlet while you are impaired by pot or alcohol.

Tommy Chong is a Socratic Method-Actor since he can answer any question with the same question and make it funny.

Me: What are you doing here?
Tommy Chong: What are YOU doing here?

Me: Why are you smiling?
Tommy Chong: Why are YOU smiling?

Me: Are you stoned?
Tommy Chong: Are YOU stoned?

Me: What are you doing in Mexico?
Tommy Chong: What are YOU doing in Mexico?

Back when I lived in upstate new york

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
