quotation mark effect 

when you put quotes around a certain word or phrase to imply something without saying it directly.

In the mafia for example they would say something like,

"The dishes are done and the kids are in bed" to imply to a hierarchy or an associate in a public place that the order was successfully carried out, such as the transporting of drugs, blowing something up or murdering someone.

Or: I'll bring the party "supplies" by your house around 10. (supplies being alcohol w/o being directly stated)
john: Why did you put quotes around supplies when you were talking about the party tonight?

jack: i was implying something else so others wouldn't know what i was really referring to. it's called the quotation mark effect.

Nigga Quota 

A nigga quota is a required number of black people in an area of entertainment or an activity/field. While this is most common in movies and games it tends to happen occasionally at occupations and schools. It was started by the NAACP in the early 80's.
1. Barret Wallace in the video game Final Fantasy 7, was thrown in to meet the Nigga Quota.

2. Due to the fact there were no black people in the movie The Breakfast Club, it violated the Nigga Quota.

3. Businesses need to fulfill the Nigga Quote or else it may result in termination of the company.

Quotaholic 

That jackass that thinks *they* are funny because they can memorize the most quotes from will farrell (or other similar style) movies. Usually tends to wear out the quotes until they aren't funny.
"You've got a dirty, whorish mouth, that's what you have."
"I love lamp." and "Shake and bake lolz!1" are all *hillarious* things you can expect to hear from a quotaholic every day.
