Quotev

A website where many teens use celebrities as a icon and roleplay with others. Practically drama island with parties, sex, and friendship wars. The whole website circulates around the "feed" a place where you write a "RA" with anything and other users can comment and like. Instead of noobs you are known as a carrot. To be quotev royalty you have to have at least 1k followers. Many kids are between the ages of 12-19. All love one direction or some other boy band. Many of them are depressed or they pretend to be depressed. These kids are also questioning their sexuality and tend to be bisexual or gay. Many girls use this site and pretend to be males too. Quotev was originally a site to write fanfiction but was taken over by teens. Dont go on there if you dont want to be sucked in.
Last night I went on Quotev and there was major drama on the feed, someone kissed someone elses girlfriend.

quote laundering

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.

Hug Quotient

The likelihood as measured by probability theory that you will experience a hug within a certain amount of time. Even when there are hug-restrictions imposed by external entities- whether they be societal, institutional or ethical- the shared, in-vivo space will, regardless, invoke the possibility of a hug, thus increasing the Hug Quotient. In the event that a hug cannot be delivered as only determined by a null hypothesis and there's not even a random friggin way to get a hug, the remote suggestion of a hug will continue to stimulate the memory of physical contact, reminding the body of its ability to induce a warm feeling of comfort and connection.
