Quotey Fingers

The act of flexing your index and middle fingers on each hand rapidly in the air while speaking to indicate "here's where the quote begins and ends." Particularly useful when conversing via phone and the other person can't see you doing it, such as:
And then she said - and I'm using my quotey fingers here - "..."

Quotev

An online story/quiz sharing website with a majority of the population being a sexuality other than straight and having at least one mental illness. Almost everyone is a feral gremlin, you're not a special quirky person. If you have under a thousand followers, you may be called a carrot account. It's a mess of fandoms, book/movie/TV series, and chaos in general. The admins are rumored to be cryptids, which may be why the site is so cursed.
"Man, did you hear? @juicyspicepear deactivated on Quotev! I wonder why."
"All this Quotev drama is getting to me."
"Someone should make a Quotev meme subreddit."

quote unquote

A horribly incorrect way of citing a particular phrase or adding emphasis to a questionable term. Typically it preceeds the phrase and is accompanied by a stupid little fang finger gesture. If you currently use the term "quote unquote" (and especially if you do the finger thing) please stop it now. Don't feel bad. It's an understandable mistake because the idiots on Fox News say it all the time as does your boss at work, most probably. But read on...

First of all, it should be QUOTE and ENDQUOTE. These are the official names for the double apostrophe symbols (") on your keyboard.

Secondly, the proper syntax is to say QUOTE, followed by the phrase, closed by ENDQUOTE.

CORRECT USAGE (spoken):
What do you think of Bush's quote War on Terror endquote?

means:
What do you think of Bush's "War on Terror?"

INCORRECT USAGE (spoken):
What do you think of Bush's quote unquote War on Terror?

means:
What do you think of Bush's ""War on Terror?

Get it? Good. But try to avoid saying it altogether. Using the phrase "so-called" is much more acceptable. Example:
What do you think of Bush's so-called War on Terror?
(Incorrect but common usage)
BOSS: Ok people, let's get proactive. This is a win-win situation. So give it 110% and quote unquote kick some ass!
EMPLOYEE: Man, you're such a putz.

pympy quotes

Pympy Quotes is a bad rip of of the website Witty profiles. They ripped off the owner, Steve, completely. They copied the whole format and it's the same idea. They copied the whole site. It has the same formats and quotes as witty does too. It's a sucky version of witty profiles and whoever made the website should be ashamed.
