clown question, bro

The standard and best retort to a clown question.

Toronto TV Reporter to Bryce Harper (a 19-year-old Major League Baseball rooking phenom whose Mormon religion forbids the drinking of alcohol and, moreover, whose age makes it illegal to drink in the United States): "You got a favorite beer?"

Bryce Harper: "I'm not answering that. That's a clown question, bro."

A reporter to First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln (immediately after her husband -- President Abraham Lincoln -- was murdered by an assassin's bullet during the performance of a play at which Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln were in attendance): "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"

That's a clown question, Bro.

A sophomoric response by a douche (i.e. sweet bro) to a reasonably posed question that reflects the inability to respond due to a sheltered, unconventional, parochial upbringing and dogmatic, unquestioning belief system.

(Reporter): "Hey Bryce, you just hit a towering homerun, are you going to celebrate by having a beer?"

Bryce: "I'm not going to answer that question...That's a clown question, Bro."
