My dad when giving advice frequently talks like this, expressing obvious frustration and disapproval to me:

Quote:
Did you think of doing X?
Did you think of doing Y?
You know, I can think of a hundred things you could do.
Have you even thought of one?


Here, the tone is expressing frustration and a sense that the listener has been "bad" or "lazy."

Can anyone more clearly define, perhaps even with a single word, exactly what this method of talking is?
