A loaded question is one that generally contains unverified assumptions, logical errors, or excludes "reasonable" answers by virtue of the way it is phrased. "When did you stop beating your wife?" is a classic example; no matter if the answer is "I didn't..." or "I never...", it implies that they either continue to beat their wife currently, or they have at some time in the past. A clever answer will instead point out the implicity assumptions carried in the question as stated.
