   "It's on like Donkey Kong" merely begs the question: to what extent and in what manner is Donkey Kong in fact "on"?

     Also, begging the question does not mean "to raise the question". I'm fun at parties.

     With a tie (might be misremembering)!

     Throwing barrels! Flaming barrels! Detritus! Probably insults!

     At some poor plumber who's just trying to get the pipes right for a rain shower before they put in the drywall.
