Ellipsis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "An ellipsis may also imply an unstated alternative indicated by context. For example, when Count Dracula says 'I never drink ... wine', the implication is that he does drink something else.
In reported speech, the ellipsis is sometimes used to represent an intentional silence, perhaps indicating irritation, dismay, shock or disgust. This definition is more known with younger, internet savvy generations.
In news reporting, it is used to indicate that a quotation has been condensed for space, brevity or relevance."
