Is there a word for this?

Posted in General at 6:26 pm by Steven

What’s the word for an answer to a question in an internet forum of the form “Idiot! That’s so easy! Here’s a vague description of an unworkable solution that I clearly haven’t even begun to try myself: …”

I’d figure there’s a one-word description for that since it comprises about 80% of all answers on any given forum.

    Idiot! That’s so easy!

    Oh wait. What I meant to say is, since you thought of it, you should name it.
    Maybe something like “Stevening”, though you may want to save that for something you really want to be remembered for.
