That begs the questionOk- time to get this off my chest.
If you say that something "begs the question" when you mean "raises the further question" or "prompts the question" then you are revealling yourself to be utterly ignorant with an opinion that can be safely discounted.
"Beg the question" means assuming the conclusion in the premises.
Thanks. I needed that.

no it doesn'tit means that one statement requires a further question, nay, it really utterly desperatley needs the subsequent question and will probably suck cock to get it.
hence the use of the word "beg" in there

No, that's what some mis-educated fuckwits seem to think it means.
Some quasi-intellectual bastard has heard his peers using the phrase, made an assumption, and made a dick out of himself. Then lots of his fellow cretins has continued to misuse the phrase.
If "raises the question" is the notion that you want to get across, then say "raises the question", or "leads to one asking the question". To beg the question is a form is a logical fallacy, not just to invite further questions, you bloody moron.
