@AC360
don't you mean "concerns"? Like, you know, ''air quotes''?
Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360
A clue about what's coming up next on the #RidicuList:
Do you want to paint your playhouse PINK, or should we call the lawyers?
And during this segment, AC actually did the AIR QUOTES gesture with his two hands and fingers posed in the air quotes position, but it was more like a SCARE QUOTES air quote, what is now called SKAIR QUOTES, that is air quotes gsetured as a scare quote in fact.

RidicuList: Little pink playhouse
On the RidicuList, a little house, a little girl and the big fight her grandma's now in with neighbors about painting her playhouse pink. And for the first time ever in CNN history, Anderson Cooper does an AIR QUOTES gesture on air, saying at the same time ''OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE I JUST DID THAT!"

I’m probably a little premature but since I haven’t seen an air quote performed in public for at least six months I’m declaring them extinct. I, for one, will not be mourning their passing.
Those annoying finger quotes popped up in 1989 thanks mostly to comedian Steve Martin. Whether Martin invented the gesture is open to conjecture but he was certainly responsible for popularising it. That fact alone negates his brilliant performance ordering coffee in LA Story.
