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.

False Midas Effect

Maybe the idea was cool but after a while it became less about the individuals and more about a sub-clique within itself. That's where the fraying begins, and ends with a false Midas effect where everything touched seems golden but it is never tested to prove its legitimacy, just assumed from a self proclaimed credibility on the characteristics of the element without any more inspection than a glance of an eye, therefore failing to realize the lack in malleability and density of the object: the two most defining characteristics. A misunderstanding of the word "experienced" leads to an underdeveloped, misguided conclusion to the "careful observer's" obliviousness to the actual characteristics of plastic. Even the simplest of observers could make out the words, "Made in China", on the back, but a lack in perspective showed the masked issue at literal face value.
