What is a loaded question?
In: 95
In addition to the other answers, I’ve also heard it the phrase in reference to a question with a lot of heavy background necessary to understand it. “Why does homelessness exist,” for example, or “what happens after we die”. Answering it fully would require a 5-page essay with citations, so it’s not easily answered in a quick dinner conversation.
To clarify, this is not necessarily the CORRECT way to use the phrase ‘loaded question’, but a lot of people say loaded question and mean this.
