scare quotes isn't defined yet, but these are close:
1. air quote
June 16, 2009 Urban Word of the Day
In conversation, the dual flexing of the index and middle finger of both hands, to signify the presence of scare quotes. Used ad nauseam by 'pretentious' and ostensibly 'intelligent' university students, to advertise their 'superior morals' and 'erudition'.
Using air quotes in this example is, like, so 'post-modern'.
2. Gamerese
Gamerese is a type of language (Found mostly in the USA), that consists of random obscene outbursts, annoying sounds, quotes from video games, computer games, and annoying videos found online
He wouldin't scare away all the girls if he didint speak Gamerese.
3. Pharm Party
A bullshit scare tactic that news stations are broadcasting because suburban soccer moms will watch it. AND BELIEVE IT.

Not only have I NEVER heard of one of these taking place, but neither has Jack Shafer of SLATE Magazine. Here is an excerpt of a piece he wrote in response to an article from Chambersburg, Pa.'s March 8, 2002 issue of Public Opinion.

"Again, the story quotes no teenage pharm partiers, interviews no witnesses to pharm parties, and cites no cop reports, etc."

I know most of the drug users of my school, and all of them know better than to grab a handfull of pills and gobble them up.
*A mom see's this on the news*
MOM: "Oh no! A Pharm Party? Little Timmy!"
*Mom rushes to medicine cabinet*
MOM: "I'm throwing out every pill in here! There's no way I'm letting my little Timmy take tylenol or baby aspirin! He might try to get high!
