It’s “quote unquote something” because most people who "quote something often forget to unquote afterwards.
I see what you did there… 🤣
this is one of those things that I have wondered about for so long that I forgot to wonder about it
Wait, it’s “quote unquote”? I have always been saying “quote on quote” my whole life.

That’s your two sense, anyway
They are just doing the autocomplete verbally, like when you type an opening quote and the end quote goes in automatically but the next thing you type goes inside the quotes
Plausible for programmers, at least
Because it would be pretty silly to verbally say “quote” “the thing” and them finish of with “unquote” at the end, like some kind of robot.
The whole point of saying it is to clarify that you’re quoting something.
