Why don't you give us an example sentence where it is used. I have never seen this used. Personally I think you have written it wrong. I think you mean "quote unquote"

I looked it up on the internet and now I know it means the same as "so called". Thanks very much.

He thinks he is a quote-unquote expert on relationships. If you were writing this, you would write it I don't like John too much. He thinks he is a "expert" on relationships. It is a way of showing sarcasm.
