What is a ‘Loaded’ Question?

I admit it!

I have never really known what it meant when someone says that I have made a loaded statement or asked a loaded question!

Are they implying that the words bear a heavy load, having a lot of meaning behind them?

Is it a suggestion that my intent is biased or cheating, like loaded dice?

Do they think what I have said is dangerous to play with, like a loaded gun?

Are my words considered rich, like a loaded old guy?

Or is it just an indicator that I’m talking like I’m drunk, like a loaded freshman?
