requestion

requesting something indirectly by way of a question
note: this is distinguished from a regular question because the answer is usually obvious

"are those peanut m&m's?" (requestion)
"yes, would you like some?"
"yeah"

Requestion

It is a phrase, often provided by your significant other, that on first hearing it - sounds like a question, but on closer examination is a request where the answer is almost always "yes dear".

Requestion: Honey, this weekend, would you mind handing the new curtains?

Only response: Yes dear.

Requestion

When you give someone a requirement or request (i.e., tell them what to do) but deliver it in the form of a question, making it seem like they have a choice.

At the end of the meeting Sam's boss said "You'll send that report to me by 5pm today, right?".

When Sam was getting ready to head home Pat said "You better send that file before you go, if you don't you're going to get in big trouble!"

Sam sighed and looked for the report, knowing it wouldn't be read for a week (if ever) but also knew he'd hear about it in his annual review if he ignored another requestion from his manager.
