A signature quote is a quote that can fit on one or two lines, so you can add it as a part of your signature block after your (user) name to the end of an e-mail message, Usenet article, or forum post.
Basically the equivalent of wearing a t-shirt with a slogan or having a bumper sticker attached to your car.

"What's-his-name has the coolest signature quote."

When you post something on Twitter and someone quotes you, you reply with something that makes you look even stupider than what the original post said.
Zak quoted Andres on why he thinks Chrollo is mid, so Andres replied and made himself even more of an embarrassment. Andres experienced The Quote Effect.

It is also "Rooster argument". The origin comes from the callsign of Bradley Bradshaw "Rooster" from movie Top Gun: Maverick. In the movie, Rooster and his pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell escape a hostile airbase using a F-14A Tomcat before being intercepted by a pair of 5th-Generation Sukhoi Su-57 Felon fighters. Maverick says that the F-14A objectively cannot handle a 5th-Gen fighter but Rooster refutes by dropping the famous quote: "It's not the plane, it's the pilot". (Rooster also said this earlier in the film where he got furious towards Maverick pulling out his papers in the academy.)
A lot of the people who are into military aviation (especially in video games) who debate the 'hard factors' of an aircraft (i.e. debating the flight performance of the F-86F vs MiG-15bis) will usually use this quote to refute the argument based on their skill or in general. Completely ignoring the point of the argument just so they feel better.

Kyle: "According to the data I gathered, this plane has a better thrust to weight ratio and turn rate than this other plane..."
Tim: "Doesn't matter. It depends on who is flying it."
Kyle: "Are you really gonna drop the Rooster quote?"
