A question that usually requires a long answer. A close relative of stupid question and rhetorical question.
Joan: I have a quick question for you. How do you solve for "x" in this complex differential equation?
Bob: Uhhhhhh...

The plea occasionally comes from a pain in the ass office worker who is clueless and wants help desperately. He does not have a quick question. He usually requires a quick answer that is not easily given. He gives the appearance of knowing what he is talking about but needs a tutorial on how to load a stapler. This guy (sorry men: this stupid question normally does not come from a woman) is not long for the company if he asks this kind of shit all the time. The worst offenders will use "air quotes" when asking a "quick question."

A very decieving word that actually means the question itself will be a lengthy diatribe of mundane subject matter ...not even requiring an answer but more of an editorial.

The question is not the issue: he usually requires a quick answer that is not easily given. He gives the appearance of knowing what he is talking about but needs a tutorial on how to load a stapler.
