Possibly related… I developed the mannerism with my husband of answering rhetorical questions with oddly precise arbitrary numbers a while ago, mostly as an expression of dislike of rhetorical questions. (As in “How weird is that?” “Twelve.”) It amuses him, lets me blow off steam, and really bewilders listeners.
That’s a really good idea. I’m going to make it my new policy!
