Quick Question Edit Meaning

1.

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...

See stupid, question, unnecessary, dumb

2.

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."

Hey dude, can I ask you a "quick question" about the sales meeting this afternoon?

See office, idiot, clueless, questions, naive

3.

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

Keith let me ask you a quick question? What do you think of that blah blah dress blah blah Britneyblah blah ...can you actually beleive that blah blah whore blah blah and more blah.

See moron, sycophant, editorial
