Talk:Air quotes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Victor Borge

I would have thought that the likeliest origin for air quotes is Victor Borges visual punctuation. -- 82.181.254.50 17:18, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Germans?

I'm a German native speaker, and I've never seen any of my fellow speakers using an "inverted hand" to mimic German-style quotes, and the whole idea seems pretty silly to me. I'd say this is an urban legend.

Also, the famous "laser" quote performed by Dr. Evil in Austin Powers should be added as an example. --Mkill (talk) 05:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
