compliment laundering

telling someone a third party has said something nice about them, rather than owning the compliment directly.

Alice told Bob that Carol thinks he's handsome, but Alice was actually compliment laundering.

misinformation laundering

The legitimization of false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive, by means of citing other sources complicit in the propagation of misinformation.

Man, Facebook blames everything bad on one color of people, citing articles from Google, a book about that color of people being ‘fragile’, and excerpts from a “theory” from a professor who says that color
of people have been like that since 1619… I smell misinformation laundering.

gift card laundering

The act of using a gift card to purchase another gift card of equal or slightly greater value in order to hide the fact that you're just regifting the original gift card.

After I do some gift card laundering at the mall today, these gift cards I got last Christmas will be squeaky clean and ready for regifting. No one will ever catch on to my operation - muhahaHAHA!

Intermarriage Money Laundering

This is when the wife writes a $20,000.00 check from the joint account as a deposit for a very large purchase, requests it back made payable to her, deposits the funds into her personal account and then pays the full amount of the purchase on the joint credit card to earn miles for her upcoming trip to New York with the girls...

My use of intermarriage money laundering is how I was able to buy my Birkin bag.

social media laundering

The act of getting another person to post a potentially controversial comment on social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Google+, Twitter etc.) because of a concern that the post will offend ones friends and/or reflect poorly on oneself.

John, who was a liberal (and kind of a pussy), and had a lot of conservative friends, decided to do some social media laundering when posting his views on social issues.

information laundering

A term ironically used only by people who are doing "information laundering" by using this term. It means "whitewashing", but is used in order to "whitewash" the meaning of "whitewashing" so that "whitewash" can be freed up & used for anti-white racist purposes. Only used in SJW doublespeak lingo and leaves everybody else perplexed.
