A code word for making out with your girl. Useful in situations where others are present.
The Boys: What took you so long dropping off your girl?

A statement that provides little to no importance, leaves the audience in confusion and is usually followed up with, “and then I found $20” to regain some attention to one’s self.
Hey guys! While was driving to work today, I saw this bird flying this morning pretty high in the sky.... and the I found $20! - that is a Patrick statement
A statement said in the form of a question.
For instance: "You're retarded" would be said like "You're retarded?".
Person 1: I was so surprised when I found out she was actually a guy.
Person 2: You're retarded? She had a beard, and a boner the whole time.
Question-Statement
Like a rhetorical question, a rhetorical statement is one that doesn't need to be commented on. When a person says something that isn't meant to start a conversation.
Bob: My girlfriend just dumped me for a man-whore
Jack: Ha sucker! I told you this would happen!
Bob: You douche it was a fucking rhetorical statement!
Like a rhetorical question, a rhetorical statement is one that doesn't need to be commented on. When a person says something that isn't meant to start a conversation, but is usually just sarcastic.
Example of a Rhetorical Statement:
Simon: Yeah,define it for me.
Irene: You're kind of a sarcastic little shit, aren't you?
A leading statement is similar to a leading question in that it makes an open ended or attention grabbing statement to influence a person to think a certain way or do something. A common use of this is in article or thumbnail clickbait, where a leading statement is used to imply something else.
That Youtuber has a very clickbait-y, leading statement as his title.
A string of platitudes serving as a bureaucratically acceptable substitute for a direction for effort.
The vision statement, "children with disabilities and their families have access to a coordinated system of mental health services in order to improve educational and social outcomes," suffers from a complete lack of actual measurement of whether the effort will ever accomplish any favorable outcome, or indeed any outcome at all beyond establishing (and funding) a “system” and giving some people “access” to it.
