Your Definition
The act of citing a source to support a hypothesis and burying the reference in a footnote or endnote that, once investigated, turns out to be irrelevant, spurious or entirely fictitious. Similar to quote-stuffing, a common practice in academic paper-writing, but not to be confused with quote mining.
