A play on the phrase
rhetorical question, a
retardical question is a question so stupid, it leaves the people being asked speechless, and unable to answer with even a sarcastic response. A
retardical question has such stupefying power,it can leave an entire room in a confused daze, and, in written form, can kill as many brain cells as aerosol or a Miley Cyrus song.
Dude 1: What did you put in answer for number 9?
Dude 2: You mean "name something flat? I put pancakes, tortillas, Earth....
Dude 1: Wait what?! Earth?
Dude 2: Yeah it's flat right?
That's what people say.
Dude 1 is so stunned by this
retardical question he is unable to speak, or move, and has to be taken to the
school nurse.
