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

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."
