Look at you telling on yourself putting "it" in "air quotes" and all.
Those are just quotation marks. Air quotes are when you use your fingers to form quotation marks in the air.
Lol obviously, brainfart on my behalf. Is there a word for those kinds of sarcastic (for lack of a better word) quotes where it's not just quoted, but implied to cast doubt on the original text/quote?
Scare quotes.
That's it! Thanks
