A question set up like a trap, where any answer makes you look bad. It usually sneaks in an assumption you have not agreed to, so you are guilty, rude, or lying either way. Classic move in arguments, interviews, and dodgy group chats. Honestly, the best response is to call it out or reframe it.
"Babe, so which of my mates do you fancy most? I froze with my cuppa mid-air. That’s a loaded question. I’m not getting aired over this, alright?"
