quote-laundering

The act of citing a source to support a hypothesis and burying the reference in a footnote or endnote that, once investigated, turns out to be irrelevant, spurious or entirely fictitious.

Similar to quote-stuffing, a common practice in academic paper-writing, but not to be confused with quote mining.

I was trying to track down that juicy reference that Malcolm Gladwell dropped about what Nietzsche said about cell phones but it turned out to be total quote-laundering.

Lanie

She is a person who goes through struggles but she gets through them. She hates opening up about how she feels and doesn't like being in a relationship she is always determined to get things done but loves to goof around. Most of her friends are boys but she has one girl friend she loves llamas and Harry Potter. She is really weird and goofy so always cherish her if you get the chance to don't let her go if you break her heart she will not show it because she hates having emotions and feelings. She is a great girlfriend/bestfriend/sister never get rid of her because she is a great specimen she may not seem very sweet and she is kind of intimidating but just get to know her! Her bestfriend is always named Kaylie. She has talents but she hides them. She is pretty athletic and she tries her hardest on almost everything. If you get a Lanie keep her forever.

Damn Lanie is the greatest
Yeah I know I wish she was my bff but she is already taken by Kaylie

information laundering

Telling a lie to another party via your lawyer, and their's, so that now the other party believes it. Whereas they wouldn't have believed it directly from you.

I got my lawyer to do some information laundering so that idiot would believe me.
