quotation mark effect

when you put quotes around a certain word or phrase to imply something without saying it directly.

In the mafia for example they would say something like,

"The dishes are done and the kids are in bed" to imply to a hierarchy or an associate in a public place that the order was successfully carried out, such as the transporting of drugs, blowing something up or murdering someone.

Or: I'll bring the party "supplies" by your house around 10. (supplies being alcohol w/o being directly stated)

john: Why did you put quotes around supplies when you were talking about the party tonight?

jack: i was implying something else so others wouldn't know what i was really referring to. it's called the quotation mark effect.

air quote

In conversation, the dual flexing of the index and middle finger of both hands, to signify the presence of scare quotes. Used ad nauseam by 'pretentious' and ostensibly 'intelligent' university students, to advertise their 'superior morals' and 'erudition'.

Using air quotes in this example is, like, so 'post-modern'.

Cock quoits

A game played at New Years Eve in Melbourne when Corona Virus lockdown is reintroduced. The usual fireworks are cancelled so glow stick bracelets are skillfully tossed onto cock of the quoitee. In the event of deflation of the quoitee the quoit tosser is responsible for the level of hardness of the game. If cock becomes flaccid points are relinquished.

5 rings wins a prize.

Anthony came down from Albury to see the fireworks in Melbourne but they were cancelled. A game of Cock Quoits was the only solution to see see out 2020.
