What didja say, *******?

Answer 2

An answer (derived from and, against, and the same root as swear) was originally a solemn assertion in opposition to some one or something, and thus generally any counter-statement or defence, a reply to a question or objection, or a correct solution of a problem. In the common law, an answer is the first pleading by a defendant, usually filed and served upon the plaintiff within a certain strict time limit after a civil complaint or criminal information or indictment has been served upon the defendant. It may have been preceded by an optional "pre-answer" motion to dismiss or demurrer; if such a motion is unsuccessful, the defendant must file an answer to the complaint or risk an adverse default judgment.

The answer establishes which allegations (cause of action in civil matters) set forth by the complaining party will be contested by the defendant, and states all the defendant's defenses, thus establishing the nature and parameters of the controversy to be decided by the court.

In the case of a criminal case there is usually an arraignment or some other kind of appearance before the court by the defendant. The pleading in the criminal case, which is entered on the record in open court, is either guilty or not guilty. Generally speaking in private, civil cases there is no guilt or innocence. There is only a judgment that grants money damages or some other kind of equitable remedy such as restitution or an injunction. Criminal cases may lead to fines or other punishment, such as imprisonment.

The famous Latin Responsa Prudentium ("answers of the learned ones") were the accumulated views of many successive generations of Roman lawyers, a body of legal opinion which gradually became authoritative.

In music an "answer" is the technical name in counterpoint for the repetition by one part or instrument of a theme proposed by another.

Answer 3

I sometimes find that the answers are way too simplistic and don't really answer the question fully, hence I tend to give an answer that is more satisfying to me. I also sometimes resort to cut and pasting, such as when told that "Islam means Peace", so that the best possible response is to cut and paste the hundred or so quotes from the Koran and related texts that "mean" just the opposite, as well as the fact that "Islam means submission to Allah according to all the Pre-911 texts. Sometimes, to make a point, you have to use a lot of details. There's no psychic way to know what kind of answer the asker wants.
