Pixel quotes

The little double-lines on either side of certain words used to indicate the existence of air quotes, when typing out what someone said.

He said he was "sorry", but I know he wasn't. (Note the pixel quotes)

When my boss told me he would need me to work "some" weekends, I didn't realize he meant "all" weekends. (Two pixel quotes in one sentence!)

Joker Quoter

An individual who completely unironically likes and quotes Joker posts.

I decided to avoid them for the most part after they commented "Real life will drive anyone mad." on a unironic Joker post reading "Maybe those titled insane are just more awake and aware to the outside world than the rest of us." because it made me realize that they were a Joker Quoter.

A Quote Unquote Proof of Concept

A one off proof of concept to test a theory or gather data that organically evolves into a nightmare of poor structure, unmaintainable code, and general technical debt. The evolution into this nightmare form is typically driven by business will to 'Get it into prod' , ever changing customer requirements, and assumption that we're completely invalid from the start of the project.

Manager: Hey the VP of Sales wants that PoC to go into production. How

Dev: It's not even close to being a viable production ready system.
Manager: Yeah you know how A Quote Unquote Proof of Concept goes. So how long before you can put it out there for people to use?

Quote Bomb

When you are writing an essay and instead of leading into or mentioning where certain information came from, you throw in a quote. The reader has no idea if the quote is legitimate or even where it is from.

Teacher: Billy, your essay doesn't mention who any of the people are in your citations.

Billy: Opps, guess I threw one too many quote bombs in there, huh?

inside quotes

Similar to an inside joke, an inside quote is a quote indigenous to the Facebook quote section. These quotes generally are annoying and retarded to people outside of the circle of friends of that person and usually are only funny to that person, even after they are explained to the reader.

"Dude, that chick had way too many inside quotes. She must be fucking retarded."
