You can also call someone else quotatious after observing one of the things above.
I am in a "quotatious" mood today, after telling someone, "My name is Bruce Dickinson. Yes, the Bruce Dickinson... I put my pants on just like the rest of you, one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records."

quotatious 

Adjective. Used to describe a piece of writing that is comprised mostly of quotations from other sources. Common in high school and undergraduate writing.
In conversation:

TA 1: Did you finish grading that paper?

TA 2: Yeah. It was OK, but quotatious as hell.

TA 1: I hate that.

In action:

While "we can only know so much about this topic," (Source 1), it is vital that we remember "the importance of quoting quotes" (Source 2). Additionally, "quotes are of vital importance," (Source 3) and make up "a large part of our language" (Source 4). In conclusion, this is "an easy way to write papers" (Source 5); furthermore, it "facilitates laziness" (Source 6), "pads paper length" (Source 7), and allows the author to "appear intelligent and well-read" (Source 8).

quotatious 

A phrase that lends itself to a "good" quote.

A saying that is "nice" to say, sounds good.
Time is the fire in which we burn--Star Trek

is quotatious, sounds good, and also "true". (A quote doesn't have to be true to be quotatious, just this example is.)

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.
