(n.) - a famous person, living or dead, who people often attribute quotes to, even though he or she might not have actually said the things they are quoted as saying; examples are Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Winston Churchill, among others.
"You know, Einstein is a real quote magnet. There are websites and blogs all over the Internet that attribute quotes to him that in some cases he never uttered or wrote. It's hard to know what's true and what's not!"

A quote queen is someone whose life revolves around positive and motivational quotes they come across . Their Facebook is littered with motivational quotes on a daily basis, their WhatsApp picture is quote text and their Instagram is crammed with positive quotes much to the annoyance of everyone around them.
Edgy Insta Chick; "Don't trust everything you see, even salt looks like sugar". "Maybe one day we'll finally learn to love ourselves and stop apologising for the things that make us who we are".
Normal person; I wish that stupid bitch would stop with the life quotes and keep her BS thoughts to herself, basic Quote Queen .

The process by which a counterfeit quotation or news item eventually gets picked up by multiple news sources, which cite one another but never lead back to a verifiable source (because there isn't one). The quote's appearance on multiple forums and news aggregators lends it credibility because it is viewed as "reported" by multiple outlets.
Laundered quotes can originate from satire that is not recognized as satire, but more frequently from an Internet writer who is paraphrasing or outright fabricating.

No matter how many places you see it mentioned, the starlet never actually Tweeted that "Scientology is an abusive cult." A comedian said this while doing an impression of her, and then quote laundering took over.
