quote red-handed

When someone comes out with a witty comment or funny line which they have taken from a film or television show. The embarassment comes when they are caught out, and someone reveals to the rest of the group that what was just said was not their own wittiness or quick thinking.

Getting "quote red-handed" is especially embarrasing if the show or film being quoted is an embarassing one.
Short person: I'm going to get you.
Jack: What you gonna do? Bite my kneecaps?
John: Dude, you totally got that from Tracy Beaker.
Short Person: Haha. You just got quote red-handed.
John: Haha. *And* you watch Tracy Beaker!
Jack: Dude. So do you.

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.
