As a good episcopalian I should have added ecumenical before you got there, but I fear I've joined a knife fight with a paper clip.

This isn't an ontological thought exercise. If they've got a nasty infestation of PONCs, you can see why the 1st Amendment traumatizes them. twitter.com/waltshaub/stat…

If there's even the slightest chance I used "ontological" correctly, you can join me in imagining a PONC tweeting "I'm asked therefore I am"

If they were short questions would you call this an ephemeral entomological ontological question? Or just another malapropism?

if they were as widely applicable as they were brief they might be ecumenical ephemeral entomological ontological questions

Oh, here: If their meaning is in the eye of the beholder are they equivocal ecumenical ephemeral entomological ontological questions?

I pegged you for episcopalian the minute I read ecumenical. It's like our secret handshake.

May I suggest that they are 'expressions of inquiry' ?

if they were also about horses and I could fit equestrian into this list then this would be a query for an equerry
