Yes, this is a rhetorical answer, that's right! No, nobody asked me.

A term coined by UK Grime artist; JME, meaning a phone call that you don't answer. Stems from the term 'rhetorical question' which is a question that doesn't require an answer, such as "Are you silly blad?".
When she phones me I can't be bothered to answer, might as well call it a rhetorical phone call

The nuts and bolts of speech and writing; the parts that make a communication work. Separately, each part of is meaningless, but once put together they create a powerful effect on the listener/reader.
Rhetorical devices can function at all levels: words, sentences, paragraphs, and to infinity and beyond.
The means by which you articulate your argument. Rhetoric can be applied to anything that you wanna argue about.
Unfortunately, this means that rhetoric can be applied to an argument that: A) you do not agree with, B) is fighting for the wrong cause, or C) is just plain wrong. If such is the case, then you might in fact loathe the argument even more. I know I would.
Rhetoric is to a factual argument as icing is to cake.
Applying rhetoric to a weak or misguided argument is like polishing a turd and then plating it with gold.
