Top answer
Could you give an example of what you are inquiring about? I'm not certain what you are asking. Using quotation marks in writing can be to denote that something is being used in a way that is not the usual way that word would be used or to denote something that is slang or casual usage that is being inserted in less casual writing.

- or, for a flyer for a fundraiser that includes a dinner dance, one might say: Let's eat, drink and "boogie down" for a good cause.
